thyssenkrupp Engineering Talent Programme (ETP) — Supporting Egypt's Next Generation
Ms. Manal Jamal, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Youth and Head of the Central Administration for Projects and Youth Training, stated:
"Reducing unemployment and creating productive job opportunities through training and development, are the most important features of the economic reform, currently taking place. Our mission is to provide decent and sustainable job opportunities for the youth, and to support their skills to become entrepreneurs and project owners, hence this program designed with thyssenkrupp. The ETP helps young talents build their capabilities and business acumen, allowing them to pursue job opportunities in prominent companies across Egypt, and provide them with the knowledge and training necessary to unlock their own skills."
Walid Ahmed, Chief Financial Officer and Board Member of thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions Egypt, commented:
"The graduation of the young calibres is just a start. Our main goal is to build industrial mindsets capable of leading large scale projects that support the Egyptian economy, and ensure the continuous development of the new republic. Also, our company supports the projects submitted by the graduates, which will be an addition to Egypt's efforts towards development, in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports."
The ETP is designed to generate employment opportunities for young engineering talents by building their capacities and business acumen to allow them to pursue job and career opportunities in top engineering consultancies and companies around Egypt, and provide them with the knowledge and skill sets needed to open their own practice.
The programme specifically targets rare engineering talents in less privileged neighbourhoods and governorates. Students enrolled in the ETP are fully sponsored by thyssenkrupp and receive special training, mentoring and coaching from top engineering and business talents from thyssenkrupp's local and global teams and external business and entrepreneurial consultants. The top ten talents of this round have been offered employment opportunities within thyssenkrupp.
