Who we are
EFE-Egypt, an affiliate of the EFE Network, is an independent not-for-profit organization registered under the Egyptian Ministry of Social Solidarity (#783). EFE-Egypt develops programs and curricula to meet local labor demands that are not being met by the current labor supply. We execute an exhaustive market needs analysis at the beginning of each calendar year to better understand the needs of the job market and tailor our programs accordingly.Our mission is to Provide unemployed underprivileged Egyptian youth under the age of 30 with professional/vocational training, job placement and alumni support to allow them to secure employment opportunities where they can grow economically and socially. “EFE-Egypt” also aims to secure equal female participation in the training programs, as an initiative to empower women in the community.By scaling its operations, EFE-Egypt has prioritized the geographic expansion of its programs and impact. Through the support of USAID, it has established three Career Development Centers in public universities in Qena, Port Said, and Alexandria, thereby widening its network and impact. In 2015, EFE-Egypt was also awarded a grant by the International Organization of Migration (IOM) to implement a project aimed at the provision of employment services in areas with increased likelihood of illegal youth migration in the Delta Region.EFE-Egypt, is headquartered in Giza, Egypt; with a geographic, programmatic reach covering over 10 other governorates.
What We Do
Egypt is one of the hardest places to get a job due to the disconnection between the education outputs and the employment market.Despite the country’s rapidly growing youth population,
employers here consider access to talent a top business challenge.
Companies are hesitant to hire young workers – even when they have the right skills. Many youth are unwilling to pursue all of their employment options, or do not know how. Traditional education is not working: youth with higher degrees are more likely to be unemployed.
Most people see a crisis. We see an opportunity.
