Injaz Egypt is an education organization which works to bridge the gap between the education system and the private sector. In partnership with the Ministry of Education and multinational and national companies Injaz has been established to create a new generation of empowered youth who will become entrepreneurs or the employees of choice for corporations, instead of joining the growing ranks of the unemployed. Each semester business leaders send staff into local schools and universities. For an hour a week, for 10 weeks these 'corporate volunteers' share their professional life with youth, giving them practical training on how to succeed in the working world.
Injaz started as a pilot project under Save the Children in 2003, it is now a registered Egyptian organization supported by leading members of the private sector, impacting thousands of youth in schools and universities across Egypt. Injaz Egypt is also a member nation of Junior Achievement, a global economic education organization with presence in over 100 countries impacting over 8 million youth world wide.
