Egypt – Youth unemployment in Egypt isn’t a motivation problem — it’s an opportunity gap. Starting 3 September 2026, HorizonCraft is taking action.
After a competitive selection process, 35 young people from Egypt will begin a 10-day intensive training programme designed to turn potential into job-ready skills.
What Participants Will Build
- Human-centred innovation using Design Thinking
- Cultural awareness, inclusion and bias recognition
- Conflict resolution and critical thinking tools
- Professional behaviour, teamwork and time management
- Social innovation and community impact design
- Green skills and circular economy principles
- CV writing, LinkedIn presence and STAR interview techniques
- Communication, feedback and confident decision-making
- Professional presentation and elevator pitch delivery
- Emerging sectors and future work trends in Egypt and the Mediterranean
- Digital collaboration tools and financial literacy
- Responsible AI use and entrepreneurial initiative at work
From Training to Real Experience
But training is only half the story.
After these 10 days, 15 participants will move into structured internships with local MSMEs — applying what they’ve learned, gaining real experience, and building the professional networks they need to succeed.
HorizonCraft is part of a wider Euro-Mediterranean initiative (also active in Italy and Lebanon) that connects youth with real work experiences while strengthening local businesses.
