The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has teamed up with Hyundai Rotem to enhance the applied skills of young people in Egypt by providing certified training in the maintenance of transport infrastructure and rolling stock.

The training was delivered in five batches to 80 young women and men under the EBRD-Rotem programme, focusing on topics related to the maintenance of rolling stock for Cairo Metro Line-II.

The hybrid curriculum blended theoretical, classroom-based studies with more practical, on-site training. The structure enabled the trainees to acquire relevant skills and hands-on experience of rolling-stock management, preparing them for employment in asset-intensive sectors such as the metro, railways and transport utility industry.

Egypt is a founding member of the EBRD. Since the start of its operations there in 2012, the Bank has invested €9.8 billion in the country through 152 projects.
