Vocational College Egypt

At AHK Egypt, we believe in the power of partnerships to create real change. Together with Goethe-Institut and Germany’s Federal Employment Agency (ZAV), and with the support of the European Union, we’ve launched the Vocational College a forward-looking program that opens structured, skill-based migration pathways between Egypt and Germany. On AHK Egypt`s side the project implementation will be through our service entity DEInternational Egypt LLC

Introduction

As global labour markets evolve, Germany faces an acute demand for skilled professionals, particularly in technical and industrial sectors. At the same time, Egypt’s young and increasingly qualified population continues to seek viable career opportunities aligned with international standards.

The vocational college initiative is a strategic response to these parallel challenges. By offering demand-driven technical education and fostering internationally recognized qualifications, the program enables structured pathways for labor mobility while supporting economic development in both countries.

Through this initiative, a sustainable model is established, linking education with employability, and workforce needs with talent development, while ensuring mutual benefit for sending and receiving labor markets.

Our Commitment

As AHK Egypt, we take a leading role in shaping the success of the Vocational College initiative. With our deep understanding of both the Egyptian talent landscape and German industry requirements, we serve as the bridge between ambition and opportunity.

Through close coordination with our partners, we ensure that:

• German companies find well-prepared, qualified candidates ready to integrate into their teams.
• Egyptian youth are guided through a structured pathway toward meaningful employment or apprenticeship in Germany.

From initial outreach to placement, we provide hands-on support throughout the journey including technical and language training coordination, cultural orientation, and assistance with recognition and visa procedures.

As part of the project, candidates will undergo intensive German language training, reaching a minimum of B1 level, through Goethe-Institut Cairo. The process is carried out in close cooperation with German employers to ensure a smooth match between candidates and available job opportunities.

Who Can Apply?

The program targets vocational school graduates who have obtained the AHK certificate in categories B or C and wish to pursue apprenticeships or careers in skilled technical fields in Germany.

We play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between international qualifications and the requirements of the German labor market.
