Egyptian students turn to private companies for employable skills
Many Egyptian youth are graduating from universities and colleges without the skill sets needed to enter the current job market.
While Egypt puts its official unemployment rate at 7.2%, the actual number of Egyptians not working, underemployed or working jobs that do not match their skills is said to be much higher.
This is in large part due to the country’s education system that, although improved, still doesn't serve the needs of students.
It’s also failing employers who are desperately seeking skilled labor, which as a result is hampering Egypt’s economic growth.
