KUWAIT: Zain, the leading digital service provider in Kuwait, recognized the participants of the third H&S Store Summer Internship Program. The recognition came during the special event held at the company's main headquarters in Shuwaikh to celebrate 35 bright young people who successfully developed various valuable business and technical skills throughout 45 days during the summer season.

The ceremony was held at the Zain Innovation Campus (ZINC), attended by Zain Kuwait's Corporate Affairs Department Manager, Hamad Al Musaibeeh and H&S Store Founder and General Manager Fahad Al Mithin. All participants were recognized for successfully completing the program, while the three top-performing trainees were also specially recognized for their excellence.

Zain extended its partnership with this unique program in line with its Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility Strategy, which closely focuses on the development of the education and youth sectors. The program achieved great success in its past two editions, with many students signing up to develop their skills and add to their knowledge by experiencing a hands-on approach in a real workplace environment.

The H&S Store Summer Internship Program came in partnership with Zain's Future University Network (FUN) program and aimed at developing students' skills within various administrative and technical areas, including product marketing, customer service, smartphone maintenance, and more. The program prepared students for the job market after completing their studies by working in a paid part-time job throughout 45 days during their summer vacation.

FUN is a youth-tailored social program for students that bridges the gap between studying and a unique work experience at Zain 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 a valuable opportunity to benefit from an actual work experience to develop many skills and gain expertise for the job market on both professional and personal levels. Zain is committed to exerting more efforts into offering similar programs that enrich human resources development in all areas.

The company spares 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. H&S Store was established in 2011 with the aim of offering its customers a wide range of high-quality tech products with a hassle-free shopping experience to ensure their satisfaction in Kuwait and throughout the GCC region, as well as providing specialized maintenance and repair workshops for smart devices.
