Training
For the purpose of achieving the Company's strategic targets, namely, to develop and raise the level of efficiency in the Egyptian Market, the MCDR moves in two directions; (updating the systems and training the employees). Given the fact that the MCDR plays a key and unique role in the Egyptian Capital Market, it is required to give special priority to its employees' training process and to qualify cadres and staffs capable of assuming their job duties. Therefore, the Training Department undertakes internal training activities for the Company's employees and renders other external training services to other capital market participants.
Regarding the internal training, MCDR undertakes the following activities:
• Developing, updating and allocating a budget for an annual training plan based on the employees’ training needs.
• Developing internal programs for employees, these programs are tested by a committee comprising of prime technical managers of the MCDR, such as the practical Rotation Program which covers all activities of the MCDR's departments. This is to allow employees to be fully aware of the nature of activities performed by the other departments and to achieve the best interest for any new employees duly introduced to the service.
• Electing a number of suitable external programs, in cooperation with competent external entities.
As regards the external training, the Training Department organizes and supervises a training course for custodians working in the Egyptian Capital Market, and further organizes training courses to the Egyptian universities’ students to be aware of the clearing and settlement activities that represent a branch study in the various universities. The Training Department further arranges for short-term symposiums and training courses to capital market participants when new systems are introduced to the service and the currently existing systems are modified. This is to allow capital market participants to be aware of all developments achieved and to properly train them in a manner realizing flexibility in capital market.
