KUWAIT: Zain, the
leading digital service provider in Kuwait, recognized the graduates of the
H&S Store's summer internship program held for students during the summer
in partnership with Zain's Future University Network (FUN) program. The
recognition took place during the closing ceremony held at the Zain Innovation
Center (ZINC) in the company's main headquarters in Shuwaikh.

Zain's
partnership with this program came as part of the company's corporate
sustainability and social responsibility strategy, which centers around the
development of the education and youth sectors, especially in regards to
nurturing and developing business skills within the youth. The company was keen
to offer world-class specialized programs for those who are interested in
developing their talents within all areas. Zain, being a leader in the Kuwaiti
private sector, believes in the importance of enriching the talents of the
community in which it operates by adopting such initiatives.

Zain hosted the
students and H&S Store officials at its Innovation Center (ZINC) in the
company's main headquarters in Shuwaikh, where the summer internship program
graduates were recognized for completing the program during the summer season
in partnership with Zain's Future University Network (FUN) program. The H&S
Store Summer Internship Program aimed at developing students' skills within
various administrative and technical areas, including product marketing,
customer service, smartphone maintenance, and more. The program also aimed at
preparing the students for the job market after completing their studies by
working in part-time jobs during the summer vacation.

Zain's Future
University Network (FUN) program is a sustainable youth-tailored CSR program
for students that bridges the gap between studying and a unique work experience
at Zain. This is achieved by recruiting youth as the brand's main ambassadors.
FUN is considered one of the largest sustainable projects that Zain has been developing
over the years since its first edition in 2008. It offers university students
with a valuable opportunity to benefit from the actual work experience to gain
and develop the many skills and expertise that they need to enter the job
market both professionally and personally.

Zain is always
keen on supporting a great number of educational initiatives and programs that
caters to developing the youth's skills and talents, including LOYAC's KON
Social Entrepreneurship Program brought to Kuwait in collaboration with Babson
College in Boston, considered the most prestigious entrepreneurship college in
the United States and the number one institution in the world for
entrepreneurship education, as well as the LOYAC AC Milan Soccer School, and
more.

Zain is committed
to exerting more efforts into offering similar programs that enrich human
resources development in all areas. The company will spare no efforts in making
its capabilities and resources available as well as reinforce its collaboration
with entities and organizations that provide such initiatives and actively
develop Kuwaiti talents.

As a leading
national company, Zain firmly believes in the advancement of young people's
skills and capabilities and looks to empower and prepare them for the important
roles they will play in the further progress of the country. H&S Store was
established in 2011 with the aim to offer its customers a wide range of
high-quality products with a hassle-free shopping experience to insure customer
satisfaction in Kuwait and throughout the GCC region, as well as providing
specialized maintenance and repair workshops for smart devices.
