Ooredoo, one of the leading telecom services operator in Kuwait, said it has signed a MoU with the Kuwait International Law School to support the country's youth and take part in their academic future.

Empowering youth is among Ooredoo’s top priorities through its CSR (corporate social responsibility) strategy. The company has recently signed a deal with the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs, to support youth projects and initiatives.

Ooredoo is continuously working with the Ministry to enrich youth experience in a variety of fields, with a focus on volunteerism.

As per the agreement, Kuwait International Law School students will get the opportunity to do internship at Ooredoo Kuwait and get exposed to the various functions fulfilled by different departments across the organization, remarked Ooredoo CEO and general manager Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Thani, after signing the deal with the Dean of Kuwait International Law School Dr Mohammed Al Moqatei.

High-scoring students will also get an opportunity to intern in some of Ooredoo Group’s operating companies outside Kuwait, he stated.

Al Thani said: "We believe in investing in youth, because the future of this country is built with their hands and are proud to take part in their academic future."

"Through this program, we hope to expose students to the challenges of working in the dynamic private sector, especially in the telecom industry which is one of the most fast-paced sectors," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
