Apprenticeship in Egypt - Towards a unified system? (Arabic version)
After a period of fading interest in apprenticeship systems internationally, the aggravated global youth employment crisis has brought apprenticeship back to the policy agenda. The ILO has a global programme on quality apprenticeship which strives to promote dialogue among governments, workers and employers to improve the quality, legal framework, partnership and employment outcomes of apprenticeship systems at national level, and promote knowledge sharing at international level.
This report presents the findings of a legal review of existing apprenticeship schemes in Egypt. It describes the different schemes and compares them against stipulations in ILO instruments. A National Conference on Strengthening Apprenticeship in Egypt in April 2015 in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower provided a platform for stakeholders to discuss the legal review and its conclusions, and formulated recommendations on how to move forward. These recommendations are captured in this report.
