Commenting on AUK’s participation in the career fair, executive vice president, Ms. Amal Al-Binali, stated, “AUK’s participation at Watheefati offered individuals an opportunity to kick-start their higher educational journey at AUK and to advance in their careers with the programs at the Center for Continuing Education. As an institution, AUK firmly believes in offering its support on academic and professional levels.” 
 
CCE director, Ms. Nehal AlShafei, detailed the importance of acquiring certificates such as the ones CCE offers for career development, “As part of the American University of Kuwait (AUK), Center for Continuing Education (CCE) has been recognized as a successful and leading professional development center in Kuwait. We believe that enhancing one’s career through acquiring international certifications or attending life skills programs, is the gateway to being selected and hired in the right job. From that came our participation in Watheefati exhibition, to encourage new graduates or career changers to follow that route.” 
 
Watheefati provided a venue for AUK to continue its support and investment in national human capital, ensuring the consistency of world-class education, training, and qualifications offered in Kuwait.
