Kuwait Fund Participates in Kuwait University Engineering Admissions Fair

The Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development is participating in the 26th edition of the Engineering Admissions Exhibition, organized by Kuwait University’s College of Engineering and Petroleum in the Sabah Al-Salem University City, from the 25th to the 29th of this month. This participation aligns with the Fund’s support for student activities and its efforts to familiarize students with its initiatives aimed at young national talents.

Through its pavilion at the exhibition, the Fund highlights its role in supporting economic and social development, alongside its local initiatives, foremost among which is the training and qualification program for newly graduated Kuwaiti engineers and architects. This program aims to enhance their technical and professional skills and prepare them for integration into the job market.

The exhibition, held under the slogan “Your Gateway to the World of Engineering,” is sponsored by Dr. Dina Al-Milhem, President of Kuwait University, and organized by the Dean’s Office for Student Affairs at the College. It features participation from 20 entities, both within and outside the university.

The exhibition aims to introduce students to engineering disciplines and their study requirements, as well as to inform them about career fields and professional opportunities associated with these fields. This is achieved by facilitating direct interaction with faculty members, engineers, and specialists, thereby helping students make informed decisions regarding their academic and professional paths.

Notably, the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development launched the training and qualification program for newly graduated Kuwaiti engineers and architects in 2004. More than 1,000 Kuwaiti engineers and architects have graduated from the program, which continues to play a vital role in developing national competencies in engineering and architecture to meet the needs of the local job market. The Fund has also consistently maintained cooperation with the College of Engineering and Petroleum.
