Intelligent Partners connects students in Grades 9–13 with six business and finance programmes in Dubai, each run by an established provider we have vetted. Students of every nationality, from any curriculum and any school across the UAE, are welcome. Age ranges vary by programme and are shown on each one. Every programme ends with a Certificate of Completion.
Help your child find out whether business is for them, before choosing what to study next.
You have a simulated AED 100 million to invest. Where does it go?
Why does one shampoo sell out while the one beside it stays on the shelf?
Why does one handbag sell for AED 5,000 and another for AED 500?
Could your child’s business idea actually work?
Loving sport doesn’t have to mean playing it professionally.
A hotel only works when every department works together.
All six programmes welcome students of every nationality and school curriculum.
Hosted by a Dubai financial firm, this programme puts students in the analyst’s seat. They research companies, build an investment case, test their decisions in a simulation where markets move against them, and present a final recommendation.
Finance stops being a subject and becomes a decision.
Students see how consumer goods companies understand their customers, set prices, design packaging and fight for shelf space. Then they build a brand strategy of their own: audience, positioning, message and what makes it different.
Your teenager is already a consumer. Here, they think like a brand.
The answer is reputation, positioning and storytelling. Students learn how brands build all three. They then work through a brand crisis: who should speak, how fast, and whether silence is ever the right answer.
Reputation turns out to be a business skill.
Students test an idea against the questions every founder faces. Who will buy it? What will it cost to make? What should it sell for? Who is selling something similar already?
Founders start with questions, not logos.
In an operating sports environment in Dubai, students see the business side: events, customer experience, revenue, and how sports organisations keep their fans coming back.
Every match day is also a business day.
Students spend time inside a working Dubai hotel, moving through Front Office, Reservations, Food & Beverage, Events, Sales & Marketing, Housekeeping and Human Resources. They also shadow hotel management.
Seven departments, one guest experience.
All six programmes take place in Dubai and are open to students of every nationality. Our students come from British, IB, American, Indian and other curriculum schools across the UAE. Families in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah regularly choose these programmes, and our Internship Programme Manager can talk you through dates and arrangements.
Every host is vetted on its programme, its experience and a valid trade licence.
Host companies take experienced staff away from their own work to teach and mentor school students, so they charge for that time. Intelligent Partners vets each provider, matches your child to the right programme and supports your family from enquiry to certificate.
Students of all nationalities and school curricula are welcome.
