In Lebanon, EFE is helping young people launch careers in technology through its Cybersecurity & Networking program. In the latest cohort, 12 of 21 graduates were already working by graduation, and a new cohort is now in training.

Delivered with Advanced Tech Academy, the 60-hour hybrid program offered two tracks: one focused on IT support and infrastructure, the other on cybersecurity and systems. Participants learned to set up and manage networks, protect systems from attacks, and spot weaknesses before hackers do.

Learning goes beyond the classroom. Participants practice on realistic scenarios, from testing a system's defenses to configuring a network, and finish with a team capstone project modeled on real-world challenges.
