Project description

The action contributes to the overarching goal of empowering both youth and adults with relevant, up-to-date skills that foster access to employment, decent work opportunities, and entrepreneurship, in line with the overall objectives of the EU4YES initiative.
Within this broader framework, the contract pursues several specific outcomes. The first aims to strengthen the quality of vocational training delivered by the Ministry of Labour by modernising its Vocational Training Strategy, enhancing collaboration with the private sector, and reinforcing institutional capacities.
The second outcome focuses on supporting the Ministry in updating the Egyptian National Occupational Classification (ENOC). This includes reviewing the existing ENOC 2017 framework to ensure its consistency with the European Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations (ESCO) classification system, thereby fostering greater alignment with international standards.
Finally, the third outcome seeks to ensure effective monitoring of the EU4YES Action and facilitate coordination among the various co-funders and implementing partners, including GiZ, AICS, Framework Contractors, and the current Technical Assistance team.
