Equate & MGRP Continue Partnership Through Student Internships

EQUATE Petrochemical Company, a global producer of petrochemicals, continued its partnership with the Manpower and Government Restructuring Program (MGRP) by hosting 27 students for a summer internship program.

During a ceremony to recognize the students, the Supervisor of the Student Training Project at MGRP Tareq Al-Kandari commended the collaboration with EQUATE to provide training for university undergraduates, noting that this is a strategic partnership aimed at investing in the human capital and preparing them for the future.

Al-Kandari added, “This cooperation is focused on empowering Kuwait’s youth and building their competencies to ensure overall readiness for starting their careers.” He expressed overall appreciation to EQUATE for this partnership that will result in more effective initiatives in the future.

EQUATE Learning & Development Leader Ghada Dashti said that it makes good sense for EQUATE to invest in the development of tomorrow’s leaders. “Our collaboration with MGRP is a strategic element. These students will play an important role in achieving overall sustainability in every sector. On this basis, this program is an opportunity to prepare the students for their professional journey because their success will benefit us all,” she said.

The one-month internship program provided the students with specific professional training in a number of fields at EQUATE’s industrial complex and headquarters in Kuwait.

Since launching the internship program in 2000, EQUATE has trained hundreds of interns from various universities and majors, such as engineering, accounting, finance, business administration, chemistry, environmental sciences, industrial operations and maintenance.
