United Projects for Aviation Services Company (UPAC), a leading commercial real estate and facilities management company, announced the successful conclusion of its youth centered activities with INJAZ Kuwait during 2018 :
Four UPAC employees participated in INJAZ’s “Job Shadow” workshop in February, where they mentored 20 high school students from the American Creativity Academy in Kuwait – Girls Campus.
Three UPAC employees volunteers in the second “Job Shadow” workshop in May, which included 20 high school students from the American Academy for Girls.
Volunteering representatives from various departments at UPAC had the opportunity to share their respective work experiences, department responsibilities and gave a presentation about the company structure and type of business. In addition, the students were then taken on a tour of Kuwait International Airport’s Control Room, conveyor belts and plant room to gain a greater understanding of UPAC’s line of business and its airport operations. This workshop allowed students to better define their own career-paths, and academic direction, as they continue their studies after graduation.
INJAZ connects corporate volunteers to mentor youth through “JA Worldwide®” programs. Volunteers undergo orientation and training before they embark on their mentoring experience to enhance their readiness, as well as, performance during mentoring sessions to inspire the youth.
This is the second year where UPAC has supported INJAZ Kuwait through various programs, where it has helped mentor around 40 students .
