Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) will receive $9.9M from the Government of Canada over six years to support the Egypt Green Skills for the Climate-smart Agribusiness Network Program (EGYCAN). EGYCAN will foster collaboration between colleges and institutes in Canada and Egypt to advance sustainable agriculture, improve economic pathways for young professionals in Egypt’s agribusiness sector, and strengthen the capacity of 10 Egyptian institutions to deliver programs that support sustainability. EGYCAN will also contribute to the creation of an Agribusiness Centre of Competence which will connect young professionals in Egypt with agribusiness education, training, and jobs. This hub aims to provide technical training, internships, and career counselling to more than 20,000 students.
