Building Egypt’s Future E-commerce Workforce: Developing and Digitizing a Competence-Based TVET Curriculum,
In collaboration with Umami E-Learning Solutions, Galaxy for Development is contributing to shaping the future of technical education in Egypt through an innovative collaboration with UMAMI E-learning, and the Ministry of Education and Technical Education (MoETE). Together, partners are revising a modern, competence-based e-commerce curriculum that responds to the needs of a fast-growing digital economy.
At the heart of this collaboration is a simple but powerful idea: education should reflect the real world of work. To make this happen, GfD brings together voices from across the ecosystem, including private sector leaders, e-commerce platforms, logistics providers, and technical education professionals, in a series of dynamic, hands-on workshops. These workshops go beyond traditional consultation; they are spaces for co-creation, where market insights and classroom realities meet.
Through this collaborative process, real industry practices are translated into practical learning experiences. Occupation competencies, learning outcomes, and assessment tools are not developed in isolation, but are built collectively, ensuring that what students learn is directly relevant to today’s job market. The result is a modular, competency-based curriculum that can be integrated into technical education pathways and adapted as the sector evolves.
This work highlights GfD’s strength in bridging sectors and turning complexity into clarity. By connecting education systems with industry needs and by transforming emerging digital fields into structured, teachable content, GfD is helping equip young people with the skills they need to succeed in the e-commerce landscape.
Launched in February 2026, this two-year initiative is a step toward more responsive, future-ready technical education, where collaboration drives relevance and learning leads to opportunity.
Establishing and improving school governance models, operational frameworks, and administrative systems.
Managing the acquisition of educational and institutional resources to support sustainable learning environments.
Enhancing employability, entrepreneurship, and career guidance through market-aligned programs.
Transforming Learning into Opportunity: Strengthening Egypt’s Technical Education Ecosystem.
In collaboration with IECD, a French NGO registered in Egypt, and Don Bosco Institute of Alexandria, the Seeds of Hope Programmer contracted Galaxy for Development (GFD) to strengthen the capacity of Don Bosco’s Guidance and Employment Officers (GEOs) and support the establishment and structuring of an effective Career Guidance and Employment Unit. Don Bosco’s senior management—including the School Director, Principal, and Head of Programmers—actively participated in the unit development and capacity-building activities delivered by GFD’s senior experts throughout the assignment.
The collaboration between IECD, Don Bosco, and GFD aimed to transform the Guidance and Employment function from a primarily administrative role into a strategic and service-oriented hub capable of guiding students and graduates toward meaningful employment, supporting their transition from education to the labor market, and strengthening sustainable linkages with Alexandria’s private sector. Private-sector companies and factories in Alexandria were therefore engaged as key stakeholders, contributing their perspectives and labor-market needs and informing the development of the Unit and its services.
The core objective of the consultancy was to equip Don Bosco’s Guidance and Employment Officers with the competencies, practical tools, operational systems, and methodologies required to deliver high-quality career guidance, employability support, job-matching and employment services. The assignment also sought to strengthen the Unit’s institutional capacity to engage employers, respond to evolving labor-market needs, and create stronger pathways between technical education and employment. The journey was designed to:
• Diagnose institutional and skills gaps within the GEO and the wider school environment.
• Build foundational and advanced capacities in career guidance, labor market engagement, and data driven employment services.
• Establish a clear operational framework and annual action plan for the GEO.
• Demonstrate practical impact through applied projects and structured collaboration with companies and factories.
The implementation Journey with Don Bosco was built on a comprehensive Training Needs Assessment (TNA) where GFD team of experts utilized mixed methods assessment using questionnaires, semi structured interviews, and focus group discussions with IECD Seeds of Hope staff, Don Bosco top management, GEO officers, teachers, students, and private sector representatives. The TNA identified strong institutional will and good individual capacities, but also highlighted organizational gaps in governance, data management, partnerships, event organization, and practical training pathways. These findings shaped a tailored capacity building plan and GEO toolkit.
The collaboration ended with conducting a Strategy Workshop and Action Planning
workshop translated learning into a realistic one year GEO action plan. Using Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) tools, including SWOT analysis, RACI matrices, KPIs, and activity plans. GEO officers defined annual targets for guidance sessions, employability workshops, company visits, internships, and placements, and clarified roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines.
The resulting plan provides a structured roadmap for GEO operations, aligning services with Don Bosco leadership priorities and Seeds of Hope’s employability objectives.
