KUWAIT CITY, Apr 16: Agility, a supply chain services, infrastructure and innovation company, collaborated with Engineering Systems Group (ESG) to offer an accelerated facility management training that is tailored for 25 of Kuwaiti Youth for the third year-in-a row.
The Facilities Management training program is part of the Work-Maker Project run by Kuwait’s Youth Authority, and is a national workforce development initiative that equips young Kuwaiti engineering graduates from Kuwait, US, and UK universities with practical training and career opportunities in key industries, preparing them for public and private sector jobs based on real market needs. A total of 35 engineering graduates enrolled in the program, with 25 participating in the course delivered by Agility and Engineering Systems Group-representing 71% of total participation.
For the third consecutive year, Agility and ESG provided theoretical and hands-on training on best practices in industrial zone management, modern facility management technologies, and leadership in safety, security, and environmental management. Over five weeks, the young Kuwaiti engineers received 125 hours of training, including intensive workshops and field training at Agility’s logistics facilities. Under the guidance of an experienced team, participants developed key skills before completing a final exam to earn a facility management certification.
Nader Sakeen, CEO of ALP Kuwait and Gulf, said: “As Kuwait and the region continue to advance their development projects, there is a growing need for highly skilled national talent in facilities management to oversee these projects in line with global standards for safety, security, and environmental sustainability. We are proud to continue our partnership with ESG and Youth Public Authority for the third consecutive year and we remain dedicated to supporting initiatives that grow local talent and contribute to Kuwait’s long-term development goals.”
