CEEBA will host a HorizonCraft Employers’ Consultation Session in Egypt to collect companies’ insights on skills gaps, workplace readiness and future internship programmes.
How can internship programmes better prepare young people for the realities of today’s workplace? HorizonCraft is bringing employers into the conversation through a consultation session dedicated to the role of companies in shaping more relevant training and internship pathways.
On 27 July 2026, the Confederation of Egyptian European Business Associations (CEEBA) will host the HorizonCraft Employers’ Consultation Session as part of the Rapid Needs Assessment being carried out in Egypt, Italy and Lebanon. The consultation represents an important step in the project, ensuring that the voices of employers contribute directly to the design of future training and internship programmes.
The session will bring together employers and companies interested in hosting interns to discuss the skills and competencies that young graduates need in order to enter and grow within the labour market. Participants will exchange perspectives on employers’ expectations of internship programmes, the technical and behavioural skills gaps most frequently encountered, and the mentoring and management tools that SMEs need to effectively support interns during their placement.
The insights gathered through the consultation will contribute to the development and refinement of the HorizonCraft Youth and Tutor Training Curricula. This process will help ensure that the programme responds to the evolving needs of businesses, while equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and workplace readiness required for successful careers across the Mediterranean region.
By strengthening the dialogue between employers, education providers and young talent, HorizonCraft aims to create more relevant work-based learning opportunities and foster a stronger connection between education and the labour market. This approach is central to the project’s objective of supporting youth employability through training, mentoring and transnational internship experiences.
Egyptian companies interested in developing future talent are invited to join the consultation and contribute their expertise to shaping a new generation of internship programmes that respond to the real needs of businesses.
Together, HorizonCraft and its partners aim to build stronger pathways from education to employment and create meaningful opportunities for young professionals in Egypt and across the Mediterranean area.
