Zain Summer Program continues empowering youth in Kuwait

KUWAIT: Participants in the sixth edition of Zain’s Summer Program continue their hands-on training journey across diverse work environments. The program remains focused on equipping them with practical skills and real-world experience to prepare them for the job market, all within a professional setting that mirrors the fast-paced private sector.

Recently, the students took part in an inspiring media experience, where they learned about the strategies and challenges of modern media and how to deliver messages creatively and artistically. The session featured Director Ya’arub Bourahma and young content creator Aws Ya’arub Bourahma, who shared their personal stories and valuable insights in media and content creation.

As part of its efforts to strengthen bonds and team spirit among the participants, Zain organized side entertainment activities such as kart racing and a shooting competition. These events were filled with excitement and friendly competition, providing an ideal opportunity to foster a lively atmosphere and deepen connections among the participants.

The students are currently undergoing practical training across three main tracks: Zain’s branches, media institutions Kuwait News and Kuwait Times, and a newly introduced operational and technical track with the program’s partner V-Thru. Participants are engaged in diverse fields including customer service, sales, digital marketing, content creation, journalism and logistics.

A total of 35 university students from various academic backgrounds are participating in the program, working part-time at their assigned placements through intensive tracks designed to hone their personal and professional skills, develop their leadership capabilities, and offer them real-world experiences aligned with the fast-evolving digital job market.
