As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting Kuwaiti youth and investing in promising talent, Waha Bank announced its sponsorship and partnership with the Public Relations Club at the Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST). This collaboration aims to support a series of events and activities organized by the club throughout the 2026–2027 academic year, with the goal of enhancing students’ professional skills, broadening their practical horizons, and providing greater opportunities to connect with institutions, companies, and entities operating across various sectors.
The partnership involves supporting and organizing more than eight major events throughout the academic year, integrating educational, professional, sports, and awareness-raising aspects. This creates an interactive environment that helps students develop their capabilities, discover their interests, and understand labor market requirements.
The initiatives also offer an opportunity to strengthen the presence of sponsoring brands on campus, engage directly with students, and build sustainable professional and community relationships between the private sector and educational institutions.
Commenting on the partnership, Aiman Al-Mutairi, Senior Manager of Public Relations and Corporate Communications at the bank, stated: “Waha Bank strives to be an active partner in initiatives targeting youth and supporting their educational and professional journeys, driven by our belief that true investment begins with people. Empowering new generations requires providing opportunities that help them acquire knowledge and experience, and transform their ambitions into tangible achievements.”
Al-Mutairi added: “Our partnership with the university club underscores our interest in supporting high-quality student initiatives that go beyond the academic sphere to include character building, developing leadership and communication skills, and fostering a spirit of initiative and teamwork.”
He expressed hope that, through this partnership, the bank would contribute to creating rich educational and professional experiences for students, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the work environment and its requirements. This would enhance their readiness for the future and support their aspirations to participate actively in national development.
The partnership encompasses a range of events distributed across the months of the academic year. In December 2026, the club will organize “PR Market Week,” bringing together student entrepreneurs and local brands through interactive booths and spaces for showcasing products and services. This event aims to encourage an entrepreneurial culture, support startups, and provide networking opportunities between students and participating entities.
In February 2027, the club will launch “Sustainability Week,” aimed at raising environmental awareness and promoting sustainability concepts among students. Through interactive activities, educational booths, and eco-friendly initiatives, the event will encourage responsible practices toward the environment and society.
The schedule also includes the “Ramadan Padel Tournament” during the holy month of Ramadan 2027. This sports event aims to strengthen team spirit and interaction among students, encourage sports participation and healthy lifestyles, and provide opportunities for direct engagement with sponsors.
The club’s agenda is not limited to recreational and awareness-raising events; it also includes organizing professional seminars and specialized workshops featuring a select group of experts and specialists in the fields of public relations, media, and corporate communications.
