About Australian College of Kuwait (ACK):
Interview with Mr. Abdullah Al-Sharhan, Chairman of ACK: Experiential Learning at Australian College of Kuwait (ACK), the Pioneers of Education in Kuwait

In an exclusive interview for Marcopolis, Mr. Al-Sharhan elaborated on what makes ACK different from other higher education institutions in the country:

“There are several colleges that grant diplomas in Kuwait; I think there are three or four already. Some of them are specialised in information technology (IT) and technologies that are computer based. So far ACK is the only private tertiary learning institution that is producing professional engineers and professional business people. ACK started last year offering as an option internship with companies. In coming years we intend to make this compulsory. To accomplish this, we are counting on our Industry Advisory Body as well as our alumni to assist. We would like our students to see where ACK alumni have gone on to work and we want to make sure that they know what industry is all about, and what an actual “working day” entails.”
