KUWAIT: Zain announced the launch of the second cohort of the 2025 edition of the Kuwait Codes initiative, part of its ongoing strategic partnership with CODED Academy. The new phase features the participation of over 300 high school students and aims to equip them with advanced digital skills to enhance their readiness for the future. The orientation session was held at the College of Life Sciences at Kuwait University – Shadadiya campus, with the participation of Hamad Al-Musaibeeh, Corporate Relations Department Manager at Zain Kuwait, who met with students and was briefed on the training plans and new focus areas for this cohort.
This phase introduces two main training tracks: one in Cybersecurity and another in Python programming using artificial intelligence technologies. This marks the first time Python with AI is included in the program. Python is one of the world’s most widely used programming languages, valued for its versatility and ease of learning, making it an ideal choice for developing students’ technical capabilities.

It offers a dynamic and engaging learning environment supported by modern training content that keeps pace with the evolving tech landscape.
The initiative aims to train 1,000 students during the current year across a variety of technical fields, including app development, website design, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Zain’s participation in this initiative is part of its corporate sustainability strategy, which places youth empowerment and digital education at the forefront of its priorities. In line with this vision, the company supports a number of pioneering programs in partnership with CODED Academy, such as the girls-coding-focused X Academy, the Kuwait Hackathon Challenge, and a range of training initiatives that aim to enhance the technical capabilities of national talents to prepare them for the digital economy of the future.
