Carrefour Kuwait hosts students of Hope School for Special Needs

KUWAIT: Carrefour, owned and operated by Majid Al-Futtaim Retail in Kuwait, hosted students of the Hope School for Special Needs on 19 January for an apprenticeship day that brought them into stores to build their skills and grow their confidence. Hosted at hypermarket within Kuwait City’s 360 Mall, the apprenticeship day aimed to underline Carrefour’s commitment to talentism and diversity. The unique program enhanced the participants’ knowledge of the retail industry, career opportunities and necessary skills to succeed.

Jean Abdessater, Head of Commercial and Operation Services at Carrefour Kuwait, commented: “The well-being of communities starts by taking care of each and every individual, and this fact is what inspires every day at Carrefour. The students of Hope School were outstanding, and made it clear that despite the challenges we may face, each of us has an important role to play in the community. I would like to thank Hope School for this collaboration, as well as the Carrefour team members who made this happen – demonstrating our heart-felt, inclusive approach to business.”

9 children had the chance to perform three main duties at Carrefour. The first task was to bag items for customers, helping support oral comprehension, physical coordination, interaction, and knowledge.
