Zain’s ‘Generation Z’ 2023 graduate program to focus on everlasting change in the workplace

Kuwait: Zain announces the selection of six talented Kuwaiti nationals to undertake the company’s highly sort-after annual graduate program cycle for 2023. This year, the ‘Generation Z’ program is an evolution of the successful ‘ZTwentyTwo’ (Z22) program undertaken in 2022 and other similar graduate programs Zain has implemented since 2016.

Generation Z remains geared towards enhancing the skills of fresh graduates and looks to cultivate internal entrepreneurs and innovators who already possess an entrepreneurial mindset to support Zain’s 4Sight profitable growth strategy.

Additional new themes for this year include Empowerment, Advocacy, and Courage to Engage in alignment with Zain’s recently revamped inclusion competencies. This progression is in harmony with the new generation’s desire to be heard, challenged, and leave an everlasting mark in the workplace.

Zain’s graduate program has built up substantial recognition and standing in Kuwait and indeed across the region. Competition for places in the program is fierce, with the Generation Z 2023 program attracting applications from a total of 300 candidates. Of these, 85 were invited for first-round interviews; 20 for second round; and just 12 were shortlisted to undertake a week-long assessment. Ultimately, six candidates were selected to participate in the year-long program.
