EMPOWERING AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES

CMA CGM's role goes far beyond funding. The Group actively offers opportunities for students and alumni: employment, internships, mentorship, and career paths. It also brings the expertise of its teams directly onto campus through extracurricular tech talks and professional readiness training. The 42 Beirut-CMA CGM employment track gives students a direct line to one of the world's largest companies, before they even graduate.

NATIONAL IMPACT BEYOND MEASURE

Launched and supported by CMA CGM and its visionary leadership, what began as a local tech school has evolved into a national talent engine; a world-class para-university model shaping Lebanon's next digital generation, powering the country's tech ecosystem, and exporting its excellence globally.
