Mubarak Kohl Initiative

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mubarak Kohl Initiative is a project for the vocational training of young school leavers in Egypt . The initiator of the project, which was decided in 1996 by the German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and the Egyptian President Husni Mubarak , was the engineer Ali Ahmed Sayed . It is supported on the Egyptian side by the Human Resource Development Service Center (HRD-SC) and on the German side by the Society for Technical Cooperation (GTZ).

The aim of the Mubarak Kohl Initiative was to strengthen the Egyptian economy through qualified professional training. Graduates of the Egyptian middle schools were given the opportunity to learn one of about 30 professions; about 1,600 training companies and about 40 vocational schools were available for this purpose. The training in the individual occupations lasted three years and was divided into four days of training in the company and two days of vocational school lessons (in Egypt there is a six-day week).

In the 12 years of this project, over 30,000 apprenticeships were supported.
