    Employment Days: A one day employment fair that aims to extend the reaching arm of companies to job seekers in the outskirts of Greater Cairo.
    Mini-fairs: Effective and efficient smaller versions of our employment fairs take place at the employment centers to provide participating companies with the opportunity of interviewing a large pool of job seekers within a few hours only.
