Our approach will be documented in a published handbook, serving as a best-practice guide for improving vocational trainers’ qualifications to meet the demands of the global 4th industrial revolution. We also have a component dedicated to developing the next generation of vocational training leaders, following internationally recognized German standards. This ensures the sustainability of quality training and facilitates technician mobility between Egypt and Europe. Our project partners have extensive experience in managing and developing vocational education and strong connections with relevant industries. We build upon the existing vocational schools in Egypt, which have been developed in line with the German Dual Education system.
