The success of any sector is highly dependent on the efficiency, professionalism, and experience of its human resources. Recognizing globally that youth are the future workforce representing the strategies of different nations for advancement across government, business, and private sectors at all professional levels, there has been a widespread interest in equipping them with the necessary skills to enhance performance and achieve planned outcomes.

Therefore, the National Telecommunications Institute places a significant emphasis on elevating the competency and qualification of youth at all levels. Leveraging its expertise, resources, and partnerships with major global companies and international organizations, the Institute serves this vital and crucial sector.

To address the evolving needs of the workforce in the field of telecommunications and information technology, especially considering the constraints of work or study, the National Telecommunications Institute launched the "Digital Egypt Youth Evening" initiative. This initiative aims to build the capabilities of the workforce in these fields, providing training on the latest technologies while accommodating the schedules of those unable to commit to full-time training, such as students, graduates, or working professionals in the telecommunications and information technology sector.

Given the continuous development in various applications and aspects of modern life, and the state's commitment to digitizing all services, the National Telecommunications Institute plays a national role in developing and enhancing the skills of workers in this vital sector or those newly joining the workforce. The evening initiative methodology combines technological skill development, practical experience, and qualification for obtaining specialized international certifications.

Training within the "Digital Egypt Youth Evening" initiative follows a high-quality integrated system that links scientific knowledge with practical experiences according to the current needs of the job market. The program primarily targets those already working in the field of communications and information technology, offering the flexibility to attend either through interactive online lectures or physically at the Institute's premises and regional branches across various governorates.
