Egyptian ed-tech startup Career 180 has announced a new six-figure investment to reinforce its position as a frontrunner in career development and education technology.
Launched in 2016, Career180 helps young people to develop their skills to fit the labour market through its counselling services, workshops and theoretical or practical training programmes in various specialities.
The six-figure investment, secured from Den VC, will fuel the company’s expansion into Oman, Malta and Saudi Arabia, where it will focus on scaling its LMS product, localising its course content into Arabic for greater reach, and expanding market presence.
Career 180 aims to qualify over 1 million individuals and plans to hire 50,000 new beneficiaries, specifically targeting those not currently employed, building on the success of those already hired through the platform.
“Building Career 180 has been more than just a business for me, it’s been a mission. I truly believe that every young person deserves to find their path and succeed, no matter where they start. With the support of our amazing partners and the recent investment, we’re ready to take our work to new places,” said Shrouk Alaa, co-founder of Career 180.
“Expanding into Saudi Arabia and other regions means we can do even more to help young people shape their careers and become the next generation of confident, empowered professionals. It’s not just about growing a company, it’s about creating lasting impact.”
As part of its regional growth, Career 180 is expanding to the Saudi market with the support of VMS, a venture studio that empowers entrepreneurs and global startups to scale in the MENA region.
