KUWAIT: Zain recently launched Women in Tech, an initiative aimed at empowering women in technology by providing talented Kuwaiti women with essential skills related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The program prepared participants to excel in an ever-evolving job market by focusing on career development, skill enhancement, and fostering opportunities for networking and mentorship.

This effort aligns with Zain’s corporate sustainability strategy, which centers on key pillars such as investing in human capital, nurturing national talent, advancing gender equality, and fostering inclusion and diversity to support sustainable growth.

The initiative aimed at advancing women’s tech skillsets.

Led by Zain’s specialized team in areas such as data management, quality assurance, business technology solutions, cloud systems, and network optimization, the Women in Tech program featured interactive sessions and workshops on topics like STEM education, data management, cloud computing, and 5G technology. Participants also honed crucial soft skills, including leadership, teamwork, overcoming challenges, and maintaining work-life balance.

This initiative builds on many other programs that Zain has supported over the years to develop national female talent in technology fields. Zain remains committed to investing in youth and education as a cornerstone of its initiatives.

With the economy rapidly advancing towards digital innovation, Zain prioritizes the development of digital and coding skills among Kuwaiti youth — especially women and girls — recognizing their vital role in shaping the community’s future.
