INJAZ Egypt

Injaz Egypt is an education organization which works to bridge the gap between the education system and the private sector.

Mission

To inspire, empower and prepare Egyptian youth, enhancing their opportunities to join the job market as qualified employees and entrepreneurs.

Description

In partnership with the Ministry of Education and multinational and national companies, Injaz Egypt was established to create a new generation of empowered youth who will become entrepreneurs or the employees of choice for corporations, instead of joining the growing ranks of the unemployed.

Each semester, business leaders send staff into local schools and universities for an hour a week for 10 weeks as ‘corporate volunteers’, sharing their professional life with youth, giving them practical training on how to succeed in the working world. Injaz Egypt started as a pilot project under the ‘Save the Children foundation in 2003. It is now a registered Egyptian organization supported by leading members of the private sector, impacting thousands of youth in schools and universities across Egypt.

Injaz Egypt is a member nation of Junior Achievement, a global economic education organization with presence in over 100 countries impacting over 8 million youth worldwide.
