ALBAIK launches summer program for boys and girls

ALBAIK recently launched the 16th edition of its summer program in Jeddah and Makkah. The “With ALBAIK, You Are the House Hero” program will host 600 trainees aspiring to acquire and develop practical skills and expertise to be able to actively help their families around the home and develop their social status as good citizens.
This year’s program will continue for four weeks, from July 9 to Aug. 6. The activities for girls will take place at the Jeddah Science Center, while the boys’ program will be held at the Secondary Industrial Institute in Jeddah and the Makkah Technical College of the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC), in cooperation with the Saudi Red Crescent Authority and the Directorate General of Civil Defense.
CEO of ALBAIK Food Systems Ltd. Rami Abu Ghazaleh said it is an important initiative aimed at providing participants with practical professional experience that complements their academic education, in addition to developing their confidence and self-esteem, which will benefit them and improve their lives.
“The ‘With ALBAIK, You Are the House Hero’ program has become known as a major summer event for children and young adults in Jeddah and Makkah. It has become clear over the past years that participating in this program is beneficial for trainees inside and outside their homes; especially since the program includes activities that keep up with modern times and the evolving mindsets of the Kingdom’s youth. The program provides them with a set of fundamental skills enabling them to prove themselves and respond to future challenges, particularly when it comes to theoretically and scientifically technical fields,” he added.
The boys’ training courses are focused this year on the theoretical and practical basics of computer maintenance, cell phone maintenance, electricity basics, car mechanics, painting and household plumbing. The girls’ courses include science and art, health and nutrition, sports and fitness, 3D design, design and creativity, digital storytelling, and water printing, in addition to a new course in the basics of cellphone maintenance.
Abu Ghazaleh said: “At ALBAIK, we aspire to contribute to the establishment of a new generation of young adults who are independent, equipped with the knowledge and willpower to carry out professional work, and ready and willing to fulfil their roles in society through developing their senses and enhancing their abilities to deal with various situations.”
