More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

The unemployment rate in Egypt and most of the developing country is getting higher every year, this has caused a lot of problem on the family and national levels. Due to the huge number of students at public universities, the students are no more able to acquire other skills besides the academic part and this is mainly the main reason for unemployment. So the project is focusing in filling these gaps through intensive training programs to ensure that they will be able to earn their living.

Activities

We are currently proving 6 language courses that are taught by native volunteers, this is besides the computer classes that teaches all levels of computer skills. Also the life skill program which focuses on improving some soft/interpersonal skills
