Pemo, a comprehensive spend management platform and a prominent UAE-based FinTech, has partnered with the Hale Education Group to offer high school students valuable hands-on experience in the business world through a dedicated Summer Internship Programme.
Led by Pemo Co-Founder Ayham Gorani and Peter Davos, Founder and CEO of Hale Education, the programme is specifically designed to provide students with a strong understanding of working in a successful UAE home-grown FinTech. It combines both research and practical skills to support students in their further education journey.
During the programme, students will be able to experience working on a range of different areas of the business, from product and software development, marketing and operations. It is hoped that by introducing students to the fast-paced world of startups, it will help aid their understanding of how to run a business, giving them a real view of entrepreneurialism.
For the last twelve years, Hale has helped GCC students secure acceptances to leading US universities, including Stanford, MIT, Caltech, and Ivy League schools.
“Given the emergence of FinTech as one of the drivers of the global - and regional economy - and Pemo’s phenomenal trajectory as a thriving UAE business, students will now have the ability to not only apply their learning in a professional setting, but meaningfully contribute to Pemo’s growth story,” says Peter Davos, founder and CEO of Hale Education. “Internships are a key component in the college admissions process, particularly those at firms like Pemo, in which interns work on small projects that lead to real impact”, he added.
The successful candidates are set to work closely with the Founders at Pemo on a series of interactive and real-life business and research tasks.
Commenting on the initiative, Ayham Gorani, Co-Founder of Pemo said: “We are excited to expose local students to the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and finance, empowering them with real-world skills through structured work experiences. By working directly with High School students, we hope to inspire them about the opportunities that exist in finance and technology careers, and also give them a taste of entrepreneurial life.
“Perhaps one day these students will go on to lead and start their own businesses, and so we’re excited to play a role in opening their eyes to what is possible. We could think of no better partner than Hale Education to do this with, and we’re looking forward to supporting the development of the next generation of UAE FinTech talent”.
Pemo was established in 2022 and has grown rapidly following several investments and product developments. The company now serves over 5,000 customers, offering fast, transparent, and simplified invoice payment and expense management solutions and smart corporate cards.
Students interested in applying for the internship program at Hale must submit a resume, transcript, and test scores to Hale Education.
