Job Description:

The project offers a highly dynamic work environment and provides competitive compensation and benefits based on experience. The project “Promotion of Employment and Socio-economic Development Opportunities through a better quality TVET System in Sharkeya” (PESDO), implemented in the framework of the Multi-Educational Programme for Employment Promotion in Migration-Affected Areas implemented in Egypt by AICS and funded by the European Union Emergency Trust Fund, intends to address the root causes of emigration, of young people in particular, from Sharkeya Governorate. This will be pursued through a coordinated intervention built on the Don Bosco Technical Institute of Cairo (DBTIC)’s well-established and renowned expertise in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) domain. Through the project, the DBTIC will be engaged to achieve the two main expected objectives, consisting of
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the local TVET system and the access to employability and self employability of TVET graduates in the local job market by providing high-quality vocational training and skills development paths.
The project will build the capacity and ability of local existing TVET providers, especially the 10th Ramadan City
VTC, to efficiently and sustainably plan, organize, and run market-driven and competency-based vocational education paths. It will lead graduates to inclusive and
sustainable livelihood opportunities by developing market-driven technical skills and job readiness to access the local labor market as qualified technicians and professionals overcoming unemployment or underpaid and not dignified work conditions. The training paths will mainly relate to the industrial and energy sector, creating a work environment through a network of companies and enterprises willing to host internships and provide opportunities to TVET graduates. Specific emphasis will be attributed to paths focusing on sustainable resource management and renewable energy-based systems aligned with national policies. At the same time, special measures will be put in place to address the power imbalance, social inequity and gender-based discrimination.
