Ooredoo holds workshop for Protégés students

In line with its sponsorship of the Protégés youth development program, Ooredoo Kuwait, a member of the international Ooredoo Group, organized a panel discussion for the Protégés program students. The workshop was headed by Senior Director of Human Resources at Ooredoo Kuwait Omar Al-Bassam, and founder of the Ooredoo volunteer program partner Spread the Passion, Dr. Fatemah Al-Mousawi.

The session kicked off with a presentation by Al-Bassam, who started with ice-breaker activities for all the students to get them engaged. During his presentation, he focused on the pivotal role played by the Human Resources department within Ooredoo, and the different programs the company offers to its employees, students and fresh graduates. These programs include annual job fairs, internal training programs, such as the summer internship program, which was conducted in collaboration with the Manpower Restructuring Program. Additionally, the company has an ongoing strategy for developing the talents and skills of its employees.

The second part of the workshop focused on the corporate social responsibility activities led by Ooreodo, including Jaribha, a crowd-funding platform considered to be the first of its kind in Kuwait. Additionally, Al-Moussawi talked about Ooredoo’s partnership with Spread the Passion to launch Ooredoo’s annual volunteer program. The program aims to encourage youth to enroll in volunteer opportunities around Kuwait. This program was started with a month-long orientation phase that included workshops, all held according to international standards.

Ooredoo’s core values are based on caring, connecting and challenging, with a great focus on corporate social responsibility. Empowering youth play a major role in its strategy. For more information on the company’s projects and activities, please visit www.ooredoo.com.kw
