About Nahdet El Mahrousa
Nahdet El-Mahrousa (NM)1
is a non-profit non-governmental organization that seeks to make a
positive impact on Egypt’s cultural, economic and social development through activating and
engaging Egyptian young professionals in the country’s public work arena and decision-making. NM
achieves this through the cultivation and incubation of innovative social enterprises and
development projects until they are independent and successful national models. NM also hosts a
lively intellectual forum, both virtual online and through a lecture series, where NM members can
share resources, ideas, information, and opinions about development practices. NM is also involved
in several partnerships aiming at informing public debate and policy in Egypt. Under its incubator,
NM currently incubates several active projects in the areas of youth development, economic
development and arts & culture development.
About CEDO:
To complement the education process at Egyptian public universities and to bridge the gap between
education and employment, Nahdet El Mahrousa launched the first Career and Entrepreneurship
Development Office (CEDO) in public universities. The CEDO - an NM incubated project - aims at
equipping students with “key essential skills” necessary to compete in today's job market.
The office is geared to serve students with provision of essential career development services as well
as provide a direct link to employers and quality employment opportunities. The office attracts
corporate partners as key clients and stakeholders of CEDO.
About the National CEDO Program
In 2006, NM started a Career Advising office in Cairo University Faculty of Engineering to support
students in making career decisions, connecting with potential employers and developing their
employment skills. The project was initiated by two graduates of the Faculty of Engineering.
As of today, the CEDO program has grown into other faculties (including: the Science, Agriculture,
Mass Communication, Computer Science, Arts, and Urban planning), and has delivered career fairs,career counseling, numerous trainings in employment skills, and other services to the students.
The office has been funded by National and Multinational corporations, local and international
donors, as well as individuals, and includes a staff of 4 full time and 2 part time employees, as well as
a number of volunteers.
