SDI Project
IT Workforce Strategy, Egypt
SDI has provided input on workforce development opportunities and strategies to leading Egyptian ICT firms, educational institutions, associations, and public sector organizations. SDI conducted a requirements analysis, drafted national strategy recommendations, engaged an ICT “Cluster Coach,” and prepared a prototype CD-ROM and web site (“IT Opportunities Portal”), introducing Egyptian ICT entrepreneurs to a range of telework export opportunities, free online business startup resources, and virtual internship/work-study opportunities.
SDI also identified opportunities for Egyptian micro-entrepreneurs to conduct credential-building outsourcing projects in transcription and graphics for prestigious U.S.-based education ventures, including Ideachannel.com.
