eYouth, a prominent Egyptian educational technology platform operating across the Arab world, announced today a strategic partnership with Doroob, a Syrian startup specializing in education-for-employment.
The collaboration aims to develop and expand training programs designed to help Syrian youth acquire modern skills and confidently navigate a shifting labor market.
The Partnership
The partnership bridges eYouth’s extensive digital library, which has already assisted more than 700,000 graduates in securing employment across 21 countries, with Doroob’s hybrid operational model within Syria. Doroob provides flexible online, in-person, and blended learning by combining a digital platform with a growing network of physical training centers.
As a pioneer in the regional EdTech sector, eYouth relies on online and blended learning models. Through its digital platform, comprehensive content library, and a vast network of instructors and mentors, the company has reached more than 3 million learners to date.
Job Market
On the other side of the alliance, Doroob focuses on linking education directly to the job market. The Syrian startup operates across more than seven provinces, blending its digital interface with physical, on-the-ground training hubs. Doroob also collaborates with local ministries and public institutions to equip young people with the practical tools required to succeed in modern industries.
Under the new agreement, the two companies will integrate eYouth’s digital content into Doroob’s localized network. The integration is designed to ensure students receive world-class training in technology, freelancing, and entrepreneurship, while maintaining access to physical centers that facilitate hands-on mastery of these skills.
Potential
“Syrian youth possess immense potential and deserve training that leads them directly to real employment opportunities,” said Mostafa Abdellatif, CEO of eYouth. “By linking our regional platform with Doroob’s local training centers and deep understanding of the Syrian market, we will deliver programs that actively help young people build the exact skills that companies are demanding today.”
Transform Education into Employment
Sami Al-Ahmad, Co-Founder and CEO of Doroob, emphasized the economic urgency of the initiative. “Our primary goal is to transform education into employment,” Al-Ahmad said. “As a startup with a strong local network, this partnership will allow us to scale rapidly. By delivering eYouth’s digital content within our hubs and collaborating with Syrian ministries, we are building a fast, flexible, and effective pathway to prepare youth for the labor market in every single Syrian province.”
Moving forward, the two companies plan to co-launch their joint programs while coordinating with government entities, international organizations, and the private sector. The overarching goal remains focused on unlocking employment avenues for Syrian youth and fostering sustainable economic opportunities in the region.
