KUWAIT CITY, May 18: Zain received a recognition from the American University of the Middle East (AUM) in ‎appreciation of its ongoing efforts to empower the local job market with skilled national talent ‎capable of leading Kuwait’s digital future. The recognition was presented during the university’s ‎annual Excellence Awards ceremony honoring leading companies, held at the Cultural Center ‎on its Egaila campus.‎

During the event, Tareq Al-Othman, Chairman of HumanSoft Holding, presented the award to ‎Hamad Al-Musaibeeh, Corporate Relations Department Manager at Zain Kuwait, in recognition ‎of the company’s continuous support of the AUM Career Expo. Zain recently sponsored the ‎expo’s 11th edition, which was also attended by AUM President, Prof. Dr. Georges Yahchouchi.‎

The award highlights the strength of the long-standing partnership between Zain and AUM, and ‎Zain’s strategic role in consistently attracting and developing national talent for the private ‎sector. This contribution helps strengthen the presence of local competencies in the job market, ‎especially in skillsets related to STEM.‎

Zain expressed its gratitude to AUM for this recognition, viewing it as a meaningful ‎acknowledgment from one of the country’s leading academic institutions of the company’s role ‎in supporting the development of both education and human capital, two key pillars for ‎advancing Kuwait’s economy.‎

Zain recently participated in the 11th AUM Career Expo, organized by the university’s Career ‎Development and Placement Center (Tawteen), under the theme “We Believe in Talents, We ‎Create Opportunities”. The event stands as one of the largest and most prominent career fairs ‎in Kuwait, with participation from over 55 local and international organizations offering more ‎than 300 job opportunities for graduates and job seekers.‎

At its dedicated booth, Zain showcased its recruitment policy and available career ‎opportunities, while also introducing university students to its Future University Network (FUN) ‎internship program, aimed at providing hands-on experience from the actual workplace ‎environment.‎

Through such initiatives, Zain aims to energize the local labor market, foster the exchange of ‎knowledge and expertise, and enable young people to find career paths that match their ‎ambitions and capabilities, ultimately contributing to the national economy and boosting ‎national talent participation in Kuwait’s private sector.‎
