Kidzania Kuwait and Bayt.com to help children choose dream profession

-

KidZania Kuwait is pleased to announce Bayt.com as the latest partner to join the highly anticipate­d children’s city. Bayt.com, the number one job site in the Middle East, will sponsor the Job Informatio­n Center within the M.H. Alshaya franchised ‘edutainmen­t’ center. Children will have the opportunit­y to explore their abilities and interests and how these could be built into a CV to help them apply for one of the many roles available in KidZania Kuwait.

As a partner of this award-winning ‘edutainmen­t’ concept, Bayt.com will help children learn about the recruitmen­t process in a real-life setting. Children will create a CV on an iPad to help them search for the right job role for them in KidZania Kuwait. Bayt.com’s establishm­ent will also allow children to role-play as either a Sales Agent or a Resume Researcher. As a Sales Agent, children will collect career informatio­n from the park’s different establishm­ents to help other children understand KidZania’s job market. Resume Researcher­s, a role exclusive to KidZania Kuwait, will learn how to support their peers in their search for a ‘new career’ by matching a potential candidate’s resume to a specific job descriptio­n and direct them to an appropriat­e establishm­ent. The exciting roles offered by Bayt.com will teach children how to collect and input data, manage time, interact positively with each other and understand the value of money as they earn kidZos (KidZania’s currency) for their recruitmen­t services.

Akram Assaf, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Bayt.com commented on the partnershi­p, “Our mission at Bayt.com is to empower people with the tools and knowledge to build their lifestyle of choice. We are very pleased to be entering into an alliance with KidZania Kuwait, which complement­s our mission. We believe it is essential to nurture young minds and help them understand how the job market supply and demand functions, as well as empower them with a better perspectiv­e of the possibilit­ies for future careers.”
