Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Ashraf Heniegal, President of Suez University, the second phase of the “Be Ready” initiative has been launched as an executive mechanism of the presidential initiative “Alliance and Development.” The initiative aims to provide real opportunities for training and preparing young people with the future skills needed for the jobs of tomorrow.
The University President stated that Suez University’s participation in the second edition of the “Be Ready” initiative reaffirms the university’s commitment to supporting its youth and equipping them for the requirements of a rapidly changing labor market. He pointed out that this national initiative, implemented within the framework of the presidential “Alliance and Development” initiative, represents a strategic step toward building the capacities of students and graduates and providing them with digital, professional, and innovative skills aligned with Egypt’s Vision 2030.
Prof. Dr. Heniegal also praised the efforts of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, led by Prof. Dr. Mohamed Ayman Ashour, in launching this initiative, which seeks to provide an integrated training environment that includes dialogue sessions, workshops, and career pathways specifically designed to meet the needs of both local and international labor markets.
It is worth noting that the first phase of training was launched at the center’s headquarters for 45 students, with training delivered by the center’s certified trainers. The number of students participating in the presidential initiative at Suez University has reached 1,980—the highest among universities in the Suez Canal region in terms of student enrollment. The first training phase continues for five weeks, with five training sessions held each week.
