KidZania and Bayt.com Renew Partnership to Inspire Children to Pursue Their Dream Jobs

KidZania Kuwait, the unique child-centric city, announced that is has renewed a long-term partnership with Bayt.com, the Middle East’s number one job site, to continue inspiring children to pursue their future dream jobs. The Job Information Center in KidZania, which is sponsored by Bayt.com, allows children the opportunity to explore their abilities and talents and how they could be built into a CV to help them apply for one of many job roles available in KidZania.

By continuing this partnership, KidZania and Bayt.com aim to empower more children in Kuwait and the Middle East, by equipping them with the resources and knowledge they need to excel in every aspect of their future careers. This stems from a shared belief that children should be exposed to the logistics of different professions in a practical way, so that they develop a realistic understanding of what every profession entails.

Through roleplay, children will continue learning about the recruitment process in a real-life setting, by creating a CV on an iPad to help them search for the right jobs for them in KidZania. They will also have the option to roleplay as either a Sales Agent or a CV Researcher.

Fernando Medroa, Vice President of Leisure and Entertainment at M.H. Alshaya Co. said: “In the old days, children often did not have a clue what they wanted to be when they grow up, until they actually went to university. Today, thanks to organizations like Bayt.com, not only are children allowed to roleplay different professions, but they can also create a CV that matches the requirements of the job they are seeking.”

He added: “We are extremely excited to continue working with Bayt.com and to inspire more young minds to learn about the local market and the ever-growing job roles, especially with the development of digital media, which resulted in the emergence of many new careers that were not available in the past. We are confident that this partnership will allow more children to realize their full potential and to work hard towards fulfilling future dream jobs.”

Rania Nseir, Director of Business Development at Bayt.com said: “As the leading job site in the Middle East and North Africa, not only do we help nearly 30 million professionals apply for jobs and be found by employers, we also strive to educate, empower, and support people in their professional endeavors no matter how early they choose to start the journey.”

Nseir added: “We are thrilled to renew our partnership with KidZania, to continue introducing children to the professional world and all the career possibilities that lie before them in an interactive and fun way. Not only do we aim to entertain them, we also aim to educate and help them realize their potential as the future workforce and the leaders of tomorrow.”

Bayt.com’s Job Information Center will enable children in Kuwait to learn basic career building skills and how to polish their potential in line with KidZania’s objective in helping children to get ready for a better world.
