EEP provides students with the tools and support they need to make informed career decisions and thrive in today’s dynamic world, with opportunities for students to explore various fields and industries, discover their passions, and excel in both university and their future careers.
Our school’s comprehensive career and university counseling programs include:
  1. Access to online resources: Students have access to various online resources to open doors for them to explore universities, internships, and get help with college applications.
  2. Dedicated career and university counseling departments: The Career and University Counseling Department (CUCD) encompasses a personalized holistic approach to supporting students every step of the way, providing a range of services to school students to help them explore their career options and prepare for higher education. This includes counseling sessions, career assessments, college admissions counseling, resume writing, personal branding sessions, and university-specific tests.
  3. EEP Internship Program: The program is designed to equip our students with the skills, exposure, and confidence needed to navigate the future workplace. Unlike traditional academic initiatives, the program offers practical learning that gives students a competitive edge early on, with exposure to diverse fields and networking with industry leaders. Over the years, the program has gained significant momentum, empowering more students, both inside and outside the EEP network, and attracting more renowned companies.
  4. EEP Scholarship Program: EEP offers a range of scholarships to recognize exceptional student achievement. The Academic Scholarship rewards academic excellence, while the Co-Curricular Scholarship celebrates talents in arts, sports, and various other areas. The Top Attendance Scholarship recognizes consistent attendance, the Academic University Award supports top graduates pursuing higher education at prestigious institutions, and the Study Abroad Scholarship is a financial award granted to outstanding students to study abroad.
  5. Partnerships with prestigious local and international universities: These partnerships offer our students exclusive benefits such as discounted application fees and discounts on tuition fees.
  6. Career Week: This week-long event takes place across our school, including various activations and events, such as inspiring guest speakers from different fields and industries who share their experience with students, informative workshops on topics such as resume writing, interviewing skills, and career planning, and career counseling sessions to help students explore their career options and set goals. During or right after Career Week is held, university visits are organized for students.
  7. University visits: They are organized regularly throughout the academic year after the career weeks for high school students, enabling them to experience university life, tour the campus, meet the university representatives, know more about the admission process, and ask any questions they have.
  8. Local University Fair: This event brings representatives from local universities that are based in Egypt to our school campus to offer students a glimpse of university life, the admission process, colleges, and more. This allows students to gain important knowledge that will help them make the right decision when choosing their university.
  9. International University Fair: In partnership with UniPal, a student recruitment agency, EEP organizes international university fairs for students across its schools, bringing representatives from esteemed universities to pave the way for students to pursue their studies abroad. This expands students’ options and allows them to have all the resources and knowledge needed to make an informed decision about their future.
