USAID, WISE project prepares technical students for careers

CAIRO - 17 August 2017: The Workforce Improvement and Skills Enhancement (WISE) project selected over 2,300 Egyptian teachers and school staff from 28 schools in five governorates to provide students career guidance.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Egypt’s Ministry of Education and Technical Education (MOETE) brought together this week in Luxor 600 Egyptian technical school teachers and administrators from different governorates such as Alexandria, Port Said, Ismailia, Aswan, and the Red Sea area to pay attention to the WISE project.

Through WISE, USAID improves technical secondary education and labor skills in Egypt to help technical students make the important transition to careers and prepare them for different career fields.

This project is part of the $30 billion that the American people have invested in Egypt through USAID since 1978, according to U.S. Embassy press release.
