HPE will employ the interns on a part-time basis as they divide their time between work and study. After graduation, students who demonstrate high performance and motivation may apply for a full-time role with HPE. The program will be supported by a series of lectures offered by HPE executives on topics including AI, high performance computing and hybrid cloud.
“We are proud to support students in their goal to advance their careers and contribute to the UAE business arena through our Emiratization program,” said Wolfgang Egger, Managing Director, Middle East and South Africa at HPE. “By creating diverse internship opportunities at a dynamic multinational business like HPE, we can support the UAE’s efforts encouraging young people into the private sector.”
