Zain Summer Program: a remarkable conclusion for a remarkable cohort
One of the first programs of its kind inspiring similar initiatives to empower national talents KUWAIT: With great success, Zain Kuwait concluded the sixth season of its Summer Program — one of the first comprehensive summer training programs of its kind in the Kuwaiti private sector — with a closing ceremony held at its main headquarters in Shuwaikh. The ceremony was attended by students and partners and featured on-stage recognition of all 35 participating students in appreciation of their efforts throughout the program, in addition to honoring the partners who contributed to the success of this distinguished experience. This year's partners included Kuwait News, Kuwait Times, INJAZ Kuwait, and the new partner V-Thru, the leading virtual drive-thru service platform. To further encourage the participants, Zain recognized the most outstanding students in several categories: the top three students achieving the highest sales at Zain branches, the best content creator at Kuwait News and Kuwait Times, and the most efficient student at V-Thru. Valuable prizes were awarded to the winners in recognition of their dedication and exceptional performance. Honoring a distinguished student. Honoring one of the students. Launched six years ago under the umbrella of Zain's Future University Network – FUN program, the Summer Program stands out as one of the earliest interactive summer initiatives of its kind to train young people in the Kuwaiti private sector. It has successfully inspired many other entities to launch similar programs aimed at supporting young national talents. Over its six seasons, the program has trained more than 250 students from various academic disciplines, offering them a unique opportunity to gain practical experience and professional skills in an environment that mirrors the private sector work environment. This year's participants were distributed across three main training tracks: Zain's branches, media institutions Kuwait News and Kuwait Times, and the new operational and technical track with V-Thru. They gained diverse experiences in customer service, sales, digital marketing, content creation, logistics, and journalistic reporting. The program extended beyond hands-on training to include theoretical workshops delivered by INJAZ Kuwait to enhance personal skills, as well as recreational activities and interactive events to foster team spirit, such as go-kart racing, a shooting competition, and a special session hosted by director Ya'roub Bourahma and young content creator Aws Ya'roub Bourahma on modern media strategies and challenges, and how to communicate messages creatively and artistically. An additional interactive workshop on creative smartphone photography was presented by Kuwait Times and Kuwait News Production Manager Nasser Hayati, introducing students to the basics of smartphone videography, creative content production, and directing and artistic production skills. This program reflects Zain's deep belief in the importance of investing in youth as the cornerstone for building a more prosperous future for Kuwait. Through this initiative, the company continues its pioneering role in providing high-quality training opportunities that contribute to developing national talents, preparing a generation equipped with the skills and expertise to compete and excel in the local job market.
