ETIDA Forum Bridges Youth Skills Gap
The article focused on the efforts of the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA) in building an integrated system to support youth and develop their skills through the Digital Egypt Creativity Centers. The program aims to connect education and training with the labor market by training around 5,000 young people in Beni Suef starting in 2024, as well as promoting entrepreneurship and developing career pathways that help youth engage in freelance work or establish their own companies. The main contribution lies in activating cooperation between universities, the private sector, and government entities, with plans to expand the project to 17 governorates to ensure that opportunities reach young people across regions. The key challenge is to create an integrated pathway that begins with skill discovery and ends with linking youth to suitable opportunities, with a strong focus on changing graduates’ mindsets from waiting for jobs to pursuing freelancing or entrepreneurship.
