Traverse 2023

I’m sure you’ve been hearing the word “Traverse” over the past couple of months. If you’ve been wondering exactly what Traverse is, we got you.

Powered by iSpark Egypt, Traverse is the biggest highschoolers’ summit in the MENA region—but why? Well, if you’re a student that has no clue what you want to study after high school, want to learn about a certain career, expand your circle, and/or make more friends, Traverse is the place to be.

Traverse is a two-day event happening on the 24th and 25th of February this year in Hyde Out in New Cairo. It includes plenty of features such as Career Quests, Scope Outs, University Booths, Internship Providers, Bazaar, Guest Speakers and so much more all in one place. In this article, we’ve highlighted a couple of the main features in the summit!

University Booths

Universities like GUC, MIU, BUE, UH as well as international universities such as Sheridan University are setting up booths in the event. The university representatives will be available to answer any inquiries you have.

Career Quests

Career Quests is a career coaching function where you get to attend a coaching session with an expert that will walk you through the process of figuring out your career plans.

Scope Outs

Let’s say you have an interest in studying engineering, but need to know more about the different engineering careers and don’t know who to ask. If so, this feature is for you!
