Arab Employment for High-Achieving Youth
From academic achievement to key roles in the knowledge economy
About the Initiative
The Arab Community Programme promotes academic excellence as the basis for developing human capital and increasing the integration of Arab youth into quality employment and knowledge-intensive professions.
Through the MATEEN network of excellence programmes in STEM and the Qemam gap year initiative for academically-oriented students, we are creating a seamless pathway from educational achievement to higher education and quality employment. The merger of these two initiatives under the umbrella organisation Acadyium, led by Ashraf Jabbour, aims to streamline efforts, enhance impact, and establish a leading professional body dedicated to advancing employment opportunities for Arab graduates.
