"While most companies hire summer trainees and teach them to handle a job, Zain Bahrain's F.U.N. program teaches trainees to handle a company, said Zain Bahrain's Recruitment Team Leader, Mrs. Rana Al Majed, "We have actually created a "MiniZain Company" where trainees will work in different departments similar to the actual company, with real-time, real-life goals and objectives that the trainees will have to achieve with the help of experienced Zain Bahrain mentors."
The strict selection criteria was put together by Zain Bahrain staff who drew on their experience in the company to create a 'Zain values' template to test the applicants.
Thirty finalists will be selected from the 120 applicants and they will join the summer F.U.N. program from July 1 to the end of August. They will be given tasks to accomplish and at the end of the program, they will be assessed and bonuses will be given to high-achievers.
Added Zain Bahrain's Human Resources Manager, Mrs. Dana Bukhammas, "This is a program with a difference and once again, Zain Bahrain will be serving the community in a unique and valuable way by giving these young people a feel of the real corporate world. Undoubtedly this F.U.N. experience will stand them in good stead when they join the workplace in the future."
