The Asian Apprenticeship Awards has completed its third year in operation since being founded in 2016, and our aim hasn’t changed: to celebrate the talent and diversity of British Asian Apprentices, their Employers and Training Providers.Since inception, we have noticed a significant transition among those within the skills sector about some of the stigmas behind apprenticeships within British Asian and BAME communities generally. Through the support of the Government and key partner organisations, we have been able to use this platform to propel our message into new communities across the country to encourage more people from British Asian communities to consider an apprenticeship route.2018 also saw a sectoral shift response with a 25% increase in involvement from employers compared with training providers and FE colleges which saw a decrease. The male and female split among finalists was quite interesting. Generally, females outweighed males in many of the sectors. However, the gender balance overall was affected by the male dominated sectors of Construction and Engineering & Manufacturing. When speaking with sector leaders, this was no surprise.“It is really disappointing to see the proportion of finalist as 100% male in Construction as well as Engineering and Manufacturing. Whilst recognising that a large proportion of the workforce in these two sectors are male there are still a significant number of females employed and many of these are excellent and well deserving of a place in the finals. We need to encourage them to come forward as entrants and show the skills and talent them possess”- Graham Hasting-EvansPresident of the British Association of Construction HeadsGroup Managing Director NOCNLastly, we saw from our data a significant increase in organisations supporting initiatives locally and nationally to raise the profile of apprenticeships within diverse communities. More people were using the platform of the Asian Apprenticeship Awards to not only encourage more people to enter and celebrate their successes but as a tool to raise awareness of diversity internally.

Executive Summary

Introduction and Background to the Proposal
This business proposal consists of establishing a fully equipped institution specialized for the handicapped or people with disabilities in Kuwait, covering and targeting all the needs of each individual from all aspects, through the facilities that it offers from Physical, Mental, Medical and physiological.
Unfortunately the awareness of Handicapped and people with disabilities is minimal here in Kuwait, Fortunately enough for us this institution targets the majority of the people whom are suffering from such conditions since we will be dominating this field in Kuwait.
ZAIN is a very well-known reputed organization that ensures its CSR is well practiced, maintained, and constantly developing, as ZAIN has shown a fair interest in environmental participations and humanitarian issues. It is of certainty that this proposal or business initiative will develop ZAIN’s CSR effectively, as contributing in helping the handicapped or people of disabilities is one of the most humanitarian issues one could do. As this issue touches many of people’s emotions as the percentage of people with disabilities is high in Kuwait and there is a lack of a decent outlet or rehabilitation firm for them to explore their full potential and lives.
Having ZAIN as a contributor or a sponsor to such project will most definitely reflect on their brand image and reputation as well as an increase their market share.
After various studies and analyzing of the financial projections for this project, it is without a doubt that contributing to this project is an efficient financial investment, as the financial returns/profits are projected to double the amount from the starting capital, after two years of establishing this institution.
In a logical and practical point of view this proposal is a great business opportunity and a Win/Win scenario for all, as ZAIN will not only have an increase in its Sales and market share; but will also be conducting something very humane that will make a difference to this country, which will also reflect greatly in their overall image as an organization to the society and improve their CSR at the same time.
Aim of the Project
The aim and mission of the Handicapped Specialized Institution of Kuwait (HSIK) is to educate and rehabilitate children and adults that are unfortunate with disabilities to the level where they can adapt with their conditions and help them live a more convenient normal life by creating a secure satisfying environment that provides all the facilities that covers their mental, physical, and physiological needs. A place fully dedicated to the individuals that are suffering in this ...
