Client Overview

Canadian International College (CIC) is a leading private university in Egypt with five academic schools serving over 10,000 students across two campuses in Sheikh Zayed and New Administrative Capital.

The Challenge

CIC’s leadership recognized a critical gap: while students excelled academically, they lacked the practical, career-ready skills increasingly demanded by employers. The university needed to:

  • Fulfill Ministry of Higher Education L&D requirements
  • Enhance student employability without disrupting academic curriculum
  • Deliver scalable programs across multiple schools and academic levels
  • Provide internationally recognized credentials
  • Minimize operational burden on university staff

Traditional approaches—hiring external trainers for ad-hoc workshops or building internal programs—proved either too generic or resource-intensive.

The Solution

CIC partnered with IGS & Partners for a comprehensive L&D transformation using the turnkey microcredential model.
