Cairo, Egypt
Investment in
new headquarters and training center reflects ongoing commitment in
maximizing value for its customers
Global Knowledge (www.globalknowledge.com.eg),
the worldwide leader in IT and business skills training today
announced the relocation of its Cairo office and training center to
Sheraton Heliopolis from Korba Heliopolis. The company’s new
headquarters house additional classrooms and offers a state of the
art learning environment, reflecting Global Knowledge’s commitment
in continually maximizing value for its customers.

Global Knowledge’s investment in
its Egypt operations comes at a time when recent political events
have resulted in an uncertain economic climate, with other
companies freezing or decreasing investment in the country.
The company’s relocation and expansion thus reflects its long
standing dedication to Egypt and growing the Egyptian IT training
market.
Commenting on the announcement,
Global Knowledge's Maged Thabet, Managing Director of Egypt and
North Africa said, “We’re extremely pleased to be relocating to our
new Sheraton headquarters, giving us additional classroom space and
state of the art facilities. It is a strong reflection of
Global Knowledge’s unwavering commitment to Egypt and our valuable
customers here. We’re certain our new facilities will further
maximize the value and return customers receive from our
training.”
