When I first joined MECA, I had a serious problem with presentation. I was barely speaking in front of people. MECA gave me a voice and helped me build confidence. One of the biggest advantages I earned from MECA is networking. It is a strong network of connections, friends, and professionals who could guide and support me. I never felt restricted to one career path. MECA gives you the experience of five years in a few, and you graduate like you’ve already worked, faced challenges, and discovered your weaknesses early. Things won’t always go as expected, but you keep going and maintain balance.

MECA Academy Project Manager MECA‘16
That’s what MECA taught us. We pitched, got rejected, and kept going learning to overcome hurdles, manage diverse teams, and build from scratch. MECA gave us real exposure and a startup-like experience that shaped who we are. We learned to fail fast, come back faster, and turn every setback into growth. The lessons we gained 20 years ago still guide us today.

MECA Founder and President 2006–2008
MECA gave me a head start into the real world. It taught me how to take responsibility, manage pressure, and handle multiple tasks, all while still a student. Whether it was organizing events with limited resources or working in a team, every challenge helped me grow. I learned that trying is the first step to learning. Every mistake taught me something new, and every task helped me understand myself better. Growth begins with trying. Mistakes are opportunities to learn, and each task helps you understand yourself better.

MECA Cairo University Franchising Project Manager MECA‘17
MECA challenged me to step out of my comfort zone, interact with professionals, and take ownership of real responsibilities, long before graduation. Through MECA, I overcame fear, developed confidence, and most importantly, adopted a growth mindset. I learned that your mindset, not just your skills, is what shapes your future. Nothing valuable comes easy. But if you’re willing to learn, work hard, and grow, MECA will give you the perfect space to do it.
