Zain showcases its training opportunities for youth at the annual Injaz exhibition

Zain Youth Network FUN Offers Students Practical Experience

Zain Kuwait announced its participation in the new edition of the Field Training Opportunities Exhibition, organized by the Kuwait Achievement Foundation (KA). The company showcased opportunities for undergraduate and recent graduate students to gain practical experience within the company, and to learn more about the nature of work in the telecommunications and technology sectors.

Zain participated in the exhibition’s opening ceremony, attended by Adel Al-Shammari, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors at KA, Leila Hilal Al-Mutairi, CEO of KA, and Faisal Al-Duwaisan, Head of Community Partnerships and Youth Empowerment Team at Zain Kuwait, along with a group of partner representatives and students.

The Zain pavilion witnessed active engagement from students eager to embark on early professional experiences. They learned about the training opportunities offered by the company and the skills they can develop through direct interaction with employees in the workplace environment, including communication, customer service, public relations, teamwork, and project management responsibility.

During the exhibition, the Zain team highlighted the field training opportunities available through the Zain Youth Network FUN program, one of the company’s flagship youth empowerment initiatives. The program allows participants to gain real-world work experience at Zain on a part-time basis, alongside a monthly incentive allowance.

Since its launch in 2008, the FUN program has provided thousands of students with the opportunity to develop their personal and professional skills, understand labor market requirements, and build practical experience that supports their readiness for future careers. Many outstanding participants in the program have since joined Zain as full-time employees.

According to the company statement, the Zain Youth Network FUN umbrella encompasses a wide range of initiatives and programs that run throughout the year. These include field training opportunities, a summer program that provides young people with direct practical experience within Zain branches, workshops and training sessions to develop personal and professional skills, and the FUN Talks initiative, which brings students together with a select group of entrepreneurs and inspiring individuals to exchange experiences and gain close insight into the world of entrepreneurship. This enhances their readiness for the labor market and supports their ambitions and future career paths.

Zain’s annual participation in the exhibition is an extension of its strategic partnership with the Kuwait Achievement Foundation, which has spanned more than two decades. Through this collaboration, both parties have worked together to offer a wide range of educational and training programs that invest in youth capabilities, encourage them to explore their ambitions, and transform their ideas into viable projects.

The company reaffirmed its continued support for initiatives that bring students closer to real-world work environments and equip them with the necessary tools to keep pace with the rapid transformations in the labor market. This commitment stems from its belief in the importance of building a generation equipped with future-ready skills, which can effectively contribute to enhancing innovation, entrepreneurship, and supporting the national economy.
