Kuwait City: Kuwait's Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullah Al-Yahya praised on Monday the outcomes of the program on rehabilitating and training fresh engineers and architects who have become "ambassadors of innovation and excellence". Al-Yahya, also chairman of the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED), made the statement to reporters during a ceremony, he attended and sponsored, that marked the passing of 20 years of the program.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the 20-year program has constituted a platform that enabled young national efficiencies, with more than 1,000 engineers graduating from this project. The fund director general Waleed Al-Bahar emphasized that the training program is a main pillar of the institution's vision to enable Kuwaiti youth and prepare them as future leaders.
The program aims to prepare engineers for markets and to help them contribute to the development of the country's institutions. It consists of three phases, lasting one year, designed to help trainees develop their skills. The fund launched the program in 2004 to upgrade national human resources and meet the needs of Kuwait's labor market.
