KAMCO Investment Company - a leading investment company with one of the largest AUMs in the region, and a winner of the prestigious Kuwait Asset Manager of the Year Award 2015 - has partnered with INJAZ Kuwait to support national youth educational programs. The program includes training, educating and preparing students for their future professions.

Ms. Danah F. Al Jasem, Head of Marketing at KAMCO, expressed the importance of supporting educational programs to the company. He emphasized the impact of INJAZ's presence in the local community, adding that INJAZ's initiative falls in line with KAMCO's goals and social responsibility program to help enhance the skills of future generations.

"KAMCO will spare no effort in providing experience and resources to support students in their educational journey," Al Jasem said.

She added, "KAMCO welcomes fresh graduates into finance-related departments and other fields. Within these departments, the graduates will get hands on experience and training on how to perform effectively, while maintaining a strong work ethic."

KAMCO is an active sponsor and participant in various career fairs targeting fresh graduates. These fairs help expose KAMCO to young talented candidates who fit the company's criteria. Moreover, KAMCO has also sponsored achievement ceremonies to congratulate those who have completed their CFA certification.
