KUWAIT: Kuwait’s Ministry of Information, the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET), and the Kuwait Journalists Association (KJA) have agreed to launch a new diploma in Digital Media at PAAET, the Information Ministry said on Sunday.
The move is part of a broader initiative to equip Kuwaiti youth with skills in emerging digital media fields such as visual and interactive content, social media platforms, and tourism-focused media, the ministry said in a statement.
Minister of Information and Culture and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Abdulrahman Al-Mutairi met with PAAET Director General Dr. Hassan Al-Fajjam and KJA Chairman Adnan Al-Rashed to advance the initiative.
The diploma aims to develop a new generation of content creators who can produce high-quality, culturally relevant material, support Kuwait’s tourism ambitions, and strengthen the local media landscape. The program is also expected to encourage youth entrepreneurship, the ministry added.
The initiative aligns with Kuwait’s long-term vision of fostering a knowledge-based, creative economy under the “New Kuwait” development plan, it said.
Also present at the meeting were KJA Treasurer Dhahiran Aba Al-Khail and PAAET Deputy Director General for Applied Education and Research Dr. Mohammad Al-Hayyan.—KUNA
