EdVentures invested an initial USD 100k in the business back in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The new platform is set to launch in two months<\/strong>, and will involve providing job seekers with qualifications through live courses that provide them with badges upon completion, and supporting them through training throughout their application process, co-founder Shorouk Alaa El Din told Enterprise. The startup plans to provide training to up to 1 mn people, and connect 300k users with jobs, according to the press release.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A platform for freelancers:<\/strong> The merger with Freelance Yard, which was already a partner working in collaboration with Career 180, will allow the startup to venture into freelance work and contracting, rather than full-time gigs alone, explained Shorouk. Legal proceedings for the merger are currently underway, she confirmed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does Career 180 do?<\/strong> The online platform allows users to connect with career experts in virtual one-to-one sessions, and provides them with resources like career counselling videos to help equip them with skills for the job market. The startup also hosts various workshops, training programs, and the annual Egypt Career Summit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This marks EdVentures\u2019 fourth investment this year<\/strong>, by our count.
