Zain supports “Kuwait Codes” to prepare students for a technology- and AI-driven future

Zain Kuwait continues its strategic partnership with CODED Academy to support the new season of the “Kuwait Codes” initiative, one of the most prominent educational programs that provides high school students with the opportunity to acquire a wide range of technology and artificial intelligence skills, and to develop their capabilities through practical and interactive training experiences. This partnership builds on years of collaboration between the two parties, which has resulted in the training of more than 4,500 students in technology and programming fields in high demand in the labor market. This step reflects both parties’ commitment to introducing young people to the world of technology at an early stage, helping them discover their interests, and better preparing them for their academic and professional paths.

As part of the program’s accompanying activities, Zain hosted more than 50 students participating in “Kuwait Codes” at its headquarters for an interactive visit aimed at bringing them closer to the actual work environment and introducing them to how technology and artificial intelligence are utilized across various business sectors.

The visit included a comprehensive overview of Zain, its business operations, and its role in the telecommunications and technology sector, followed by a session on media work and artificial intelligence. During this session, students learned about the opportunities offered by modern technologies to develop content and enhance efficiency, as well as the importance of the responsible and conscious use of AI tools.

Students also participated in an introductory session on cybersecurity, which covered its growing role in protecting systems, data, and digital infrastructure, along with key practices that contribute to safe interaction with technology. This comes amid the increasing importance of this field within the digital economy and the future labor market.

The visit concluded with a tour of the 107 Contact Center, where students gained close insight into the customer service journey, learned about the mechanisms for receiving and handling inquiries, and discovered how Zain teams leverage technical systems and solutions to support customers and deliver faster, more efficient experiences.

This year, the program is held at the American University of Kuwait and targets students aged 14 to 18. Each participant chooses one of three main tracks: cybersecurity, Python programming using artificial intelligence, and website development using artificial intelligence.
