IBM SkillsBuild — EYOOT Projects

The project

A thousand courses,
none of them paid for.

IBM SkillsBuild is a free learning platform with over 1,000 courses spanning technical and workplace skills — and EYOOT is how young Egyptians get onto it. We bring the platform to universities, ministries and youth initiatives, build a learning plan around what each one actually needs, and stay with the learners until they finish.

IBM's global ambition is 30 million learners. We've been delivering against it for three years, and currently reach around 30,000 learners a year in Egypt.

Courses run from complete beginner to advanced, in Arabic, English and other languages — so the platform meets people where they are rather than where a syllabus assumes they should be.

What you can learn

Two kinds of skill.
Both free.

The technical skills get you considered. The workplace skills get you kept. SkillsBuild covers both, at every level.

Technical skills

Build what the market is hiring for

Artificial Intelligence Cybersecurity Data Analysis Programming Coding Cloud Data Science Web Development

Beginner to advanced — start with no background at all.

Workplace skills

Build what keeps you there

Financial Literacy Communication Presentation Skills Problem Solving Career Readiness Teamwork Design Thinking Time Management

The part most training leaves out, and most employers notice first.

The part that travels

Finish a course,
get an IBM-verified
certificate.

Not a certificate of attendance from us — a credential issued and verified by IBM, with your name on it, that an employer can check. It costs nothing, and it stays yours.

◆

Verified by IBMIssued through the platform and independently checkable.

◆

Free, like everything elseNo exam fee, no certificate fee, no upgrade tier.

◆

Earned per courseEvery completed course adds another one — build a stack.

◆

Recognised beyond EgyptA global credential, not a local one.
