The IT Clubs Department of the Central Department for Community Development at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) is organizing a Training of Trainers (TOT) to develop youth’s technological complementary capacities and skills to qualify them for training university students.

The training program starts on March 5, at Beni Suef Technology Park. It is organized in collaboration with Silicon Waha. This comes within the framework of promoting the role of technology in community development, effectively and sustainably.

The program aims to build youth’s capacities in IT areas, by reaching young and emerging talents and calibers in the local community in Beni Suef, and creating an enabling environment to help them deliver a value added to the community.

This is achieved through harnessing technological innovation and advancement tools, to build their capacities and equip them with the necessary tools to move their career forward according to the labor market needs, thus contributing to improving the standard of living in local communities.

The program also targets coming up with a youth training model that can be applied in other technology parks, in areas including Assiut, Borg Al-Arab and El Sadat City.

The IT Clubs department collaborates with government and private agencies and institutions and civil society organizations specializing in IT, to make ICT tools and applications available for all members of society. This is in addition to providing technical and administrative support to institutions incubating IT clubs, thus contributing to raising their efficacy and achieving sustainability, for serving the society.

The Department is also working on studying the needs of surrounding communities, and providing them with training programs that meet their needs, thus raising the efficiency of human calibers and qualifying them for the
labor market.
