The Regional Labor Market Observatory in Sadat City
The Regional Labor Market Observatory in Sadat City was established in December 2013 to collect and analyze up-to-date labor market data, including employment opportunities, required skills, and training needs.
The observatory follows the Prospect approach, which is based on cooperation and dialogue between stakeholders to improve employment policies and connect technical education with private-sector needs.
The observatory team includes representatives from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Manpower, and Sadat City Investors Association.
Selected sectors included engineering, ready-made garments, spinning and textiles, and agricultural and food industries. The study covered 117 industrial establishments registered with the Investors Association.
The study identified intervention programs that support youth employment and reduce labor market challenges, including disability employment and plastic machine operator training.
The study covered 32 establishments to assess current labor conditions, future labor demand, required qualifications, and labor-related challenges, alongside supply-side and employment services analysis.
A database was launched for 1,148 industrial establishments, covering company, contact, ISIC classification, workforce, investment, training, and education information.
