About Goethe-Institut Up4Jobs Scholarship Program

On behalf of the Federal Government, the German Society for International Cooperation Egypt (GIZ) together with the Goethe-Institut Egypt offers the Up4Jobs program, which prepares you linguistically, professionally and culturally for working for a German company in Egypt.
 

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE UP4JOBS PROGRAM

In recent years, German companies have increasingly discovered the Egyptian market. This has led to the creation of numerous jobs and career opportunities in Egypt. However, in order to take advantage of these, good German language skills and appropriate professional qualifications are often necessary. 

In order to promote training in this area among potential employees, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has launched a special scholarship for university graduates and job seekers who are interested in a professional future with a German company in Egypt. 

The Up4Jobs program offers scholarships to promote the German language, as well as soft skills training to increase the employment opportunities of project participants with German or international companies in Egypt in the IT sector. In addition, two job fairs per year are organized for students of the Up4Jobs program, which enable Up4Jobs students to be employed in German companies in Egypt.
