Launched in 2015, this scholarship initiative strengthens participants' future capabilities by offering, in parallel, specially designed supplementary enhancement activities such as English language instruction, leadership training, and career planning, as well as internships, community service, and study abroad at universities in the United States.
The Amideast Nahdhat Shabab Project (NSP) trained over 781 Yemenis in vocational, professional, and employability skills. More than 160 trainees were connected with mentors and local businesses to gain real-world experience as interns in key companies and in improving their communities. Trainees came from a broad cross-section of Yemeni society, with 22 Yemeni communities included in the project.
Since 2015, Amideast/Egypt has partnered with Management Training Corporation (MTC) to support the USAID-funded WISE project. Amideast is providing technical leadership for the entrepreneurship and work-based learning activities undertaken to help technical secondary schools better prepare students to meet labor market needs, and providing technical expertise and support for efforts to improve labor market efficiency and improve the overall environment for workforce development.
