The Information Technology Industry
Development Agency (ITIDA) has announced the start of implementation of the
“National Competence Framework” Project for the ICT sector which the agency
implements and funds in collaboration with the International Finance
Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.
The project aims to support areas related to developing and
building competitiveness of the Egyptian IT companies, and the skills of
employees to meet international standards. It also targets developing education
and training activities to help university graduates find employment
opportunities in the sector.
The project identifies skills and competencies required by each
ICT job to assist in the provision of educational and training programs and
relevant evaluation mechanisms, especially those that focus on the technical,
artistic, linguistic and communication skills. It will be implemented with the
help of the expertise of EON Hewitt, a global HR consulting company.
ITIDA CEO Hussein El-Gueretly said that the launch of the
project is a great achievement in the field of education, training and
employment in the ICT field, contributing in creating more jobs in the sector
and supporting overall economic growth of the state as a whole.
Competence Framework includes identifying suitable areas for
persons with disabilities (PWDs), determining the percentage of their
disabilities and challenges they face and discussing how to expand the
community return of involving them effectively in the ICT labor market, which
will have a strong impact on both the economic and social levels.
