Career 180, a Cairo-based ed-tech platform, has secured US$200,000 from EdVentures to expand its offerings and reach.
Career180, which was founded in 2016, assists young people in developing their abilities to match the labour market through counselling, workshops, and theoretical or practical training programmes in a variety of fields.
On its website, the business provides career counselling videos and a range of other services, and it has now received US $200,000 in financing from EdVentures, an ed-tech oriented venture capital firm, to help it establish a new job platform. Career 180 intends to combine that platform with its Freelance Yard product to create an integrated platform that offers adolescents employment and qualification services for all sorts of jobs.
In order to teach one million trainees and aid 300,000 users in finding suitable work prospects, Career 180 wants to improve its career counselling services and expand its training programmes.
“We constantly aim at empowering youth, and that’s why we were excited to do a new round of investment in Career 180. Their new platform will enable youth to find job opportunities while helping them develop their skills and capabilities through the various training programmes offered by this platform,” said Dalia Ibrahim, the founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of EdVentures, which also backed Career 180 in 2019.
