Egyptian Youth has a huge issue in finding work opportunities due to the huge gap between what the academic studies offers and what the labor market needs, so we in Skill Me Academy are working to reduce this gap by offering quality trainings based on creative teaching methodologies and integrating modern technologies in trainings, and increasing the practical application more than the theoretical part using games and stimulating activities.
