Agility, a supply chain services, infrastructure and innovation company, announced the successful conclusion of Kuwait Codes and Academy X’s first cohort, Agility is sponsoring two coding programs and bootcamps this year for over 1,300 students as part of the company’s commitment to advancing tech education in Kuwait.

Agility has renewed support for CODED, a local tech training organization in Kuwait that provides bootcamp-style software development training. As a strategic sponsor of CODED, Agility is funding two programs:

• Kuwait Codes aims to provide crucial programming skills to more than 1,000 high school students. Kuwait Codes provides students with the fundamentals of programming across diverse coding languages and for different in-demand applications, including app building, web development, gaming, information security, and others. The course also serves as a foundation for those taking advanced training programs.
• Agility is also supporting CODED’s Academy X, which is designed to introduce 300 female students to coding and inspire a new generation of female tech innovators. Academy X was piloted last year by 100 young female students and is now in its first full-run. Academy X teaches modern programming basics. The curriculum includes building applications using AI, lessons on leveraging technology in entrepreneurship, and other vital skills that equip students for the job market.

Both initiatives started last month and provide free training in modern programming languages and techniques.

“Our continued investment in capacity-building programs reflects Agility’s commitment to  Kuwait’s youth. We want to help equip them with the essential skills needed for today’s job market. We are proud to have made a positive impact on more than 7,000 students, over half of whom are young women ready to launch their careers. Our support for Kuwait Codes 2024 and the launch of Academy X underscores our commitment to the next generation of tech talent in Kuwait,” said Henadi Al Saleh, Chairperson of Agility.

Agility has a long-standing commitment to youth in Kuwait through educational programs, capacity-building initiatives, and knowledge transfer. Its efforts align with Kuwait’s development plan and they are designed to equip students and young professionals with crucial skills, preparing them for the job market and enabling them to contribute to Kuwait’s growth and development. The company focuses on: (1) enhancing programming and technical skills, (2) promoting financial literacy and entrepreneurship, and (3) providing training in the industrial sector and facility management.

Agility has formed partnerships with LOYAC, INJAZ Kuwait, the Kuwait Industries Union (KIU), and the Public Authority for Youth, ensuring a broad and lasting impact.

In 2024, Agility is renewing key sponsorships and launching targeted training initiatives. The company will continue its support for the LOYAC’s KON entrepreneurship program and, for the second year, is offering intensive facility management training to young Kuwaitis and university graduates in partnership with the Public Authority for Youth. Agility also is supporting the 13th edition of ‘Knights of Industry,’ a training initiative by the Kuwait Industries Union that guides high school graduates towards careers in industrial sectors.
