USAID official: WISE to launch portal for technical schools
Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 10 - 09 - 2018

CAIRO, Sept 10, 2018 (MENA) - Economic Officer of the Middle East Bureau of the United States Agency for International Development Denise Lamaute said the USAID-funded Workforce Improvement and Skills Enhancement (WISE) is cooperating with the Ministry of Education and Technical Cooperation to launch a portal for technical education schools to facilitate joining labor market in various governorates.
Addressing a press conference on Monday on the outcome of WISE programs, she said WISE is working in five governorates in tandem with the private sector to determine the workforce needs, prepare students to join the workforce, and connect students with potential employers.
Since 2016, USAID's project to improve the skills and job-readiness of technical students has secured employment for nearly 7,000 and internships for over 5,350 students. More than 24,000 students have benefited from career guidance sessions and over 21,000 students received training in entrepreneurship.
This project is part of the $30 billion that the American people have invested in Egypt through USAID since 1978.
