Egypt’s National Telecommunication Institute (NTI), operating under the strategic direction of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, closed 2025 having reached 49,310 beneficiaries through nationwide digital skills and workforce programmes.
Training was delivered across NTI’s two main Cairo campuses and an expanded national network of more than 24 Digital Creativity Centers (Creativa). The opening of the Digital Creation Center in Al-Maraa in the new administrative capital further extended access beyond major urban hubs.
Employment-linked tracks defined the year. The Digital Youth of Egypt | Ready for Employment program trained 1,742 participants, achieving an employment rate exceeding 87% through partnerships with more than 85 local and international companies. Complementary pathways such as Career Launch and Job-Tech delivered 100% employment outcomes for participants.
Through the Digital Youth Creativity Centers – Free Work Initiative, 6,551 interns were trained, with over 73% securing freelance work or completing real-world projects.
Technical depth and national scale remained central. NTI’s Cyber Security Academy trained more than 5,000 participants across 15 governorates. The Summer Internship Program graduated over 10,000 students, while the Capacity Up initiative equipped 2,476 new trainees with market-aligned skills.
International partnerships with AWS, Cisco, IBM, Huawei, Red Hat, VMware, Fortinet, and Avaya enabled global accreditation and industry-ready training across cybersecurity, AI, cloud, and enterprise technologies.
Government digital transformation was a core pillar. Nearly 10,000 public-sector employees were trained in 2025, including 9,354 under the Digital Leadership Program. A further 7,262 AI Ambassadors were trained to promote responsible AI adoption across institutions.
Academically, NTI accredited six diploma specialisations in Networks, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science, enrolling 487 interns in diploma and master’s programs under the Digital Pioneers Initiative. Its infrastructure spanning fibre, mobile labs, cloud facilities, and applied research supported national telecom standards and delivered 2,600 printed electronic circuit panels for student and industry use.
