It was there, in his home country, that he discovered technical trades and developed solid expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, he forged a conviction that knowledge transfer and training are powerful levers for building a better future.<\/p>\n<p>Building on this experience, he founded his first company, <b>Electrical Power Solution (EPS)<\/b>, in Lebanon. He quickly began training and employing young people, convinced that the economy cannot be built without a skilled workforce.<\/p>\n<p>A few years later, in search of new horizons and driven by a desire to contribute elsewhere, he chose to settle in Liberia. A country in reconstruction, with a great need for technical skills. He relaunched EPS, this time with a new ambition: to make his company a player in local transformation.<\/p>\n<p>It was there that he rediscovered IECD, almost by chance. \u2018<strong>When I saw their logo in Monrovia, I knew I had to get back in touch. It was like finding an old friend<\/strong>.\u2019 The collaboration quickly took shape: 60 young people were trained in electrical trades, and five of them joined EPS.<\/p>\n<p>It is a partnership based on shared values: professionalism, inclusion and commitment.<\/p>\n<p>For him, training is at the heart of the company&#8217;s strategy. The internships offered by EPS are designed to be real springboards: personalised support, mentoring and work on real projects. \u2018<b>Some of the young people have blown us away with their motivation. They have become real pillars of the team.<\/b>\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But beyond the professional aspect, it is a broader vision of entrepreneurship that is emerging. \u2018My role goes far beyond creating jobs. Training, supporting and offering prospects: that&#8217;s also what entrepreneurship is all about today.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>With the IECD, he shares the same desire to build lasting bridges between training and employment, between education and economic development. Together, they show that a business can be both successful and meaningful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-video av-mc0j7320-28e14ebd163f883940539e2bff640b37 avia-video-16-9 av-no-preview-image avia-video-load-always av-lazyload-immediate av-lazyload-video-embed'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/youtu.be\/FeLvSIUNLoE?si=NO4sBznnZ3-zcxTy'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"De b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaire dans un centre au Liban \u00e0 entrepreneur inspirant au Lib\u00e9ria - rencontre avec Nayef\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FeLvSIUNLoE?feature=oembed&autoplay=0&loop=0&controls=1&mute=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/script><div class='av-click-to-play-overlay'><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-s6ycom-4d28fa7cfe0392d9ba61736711e004e1\">\n.flex_column.av-s6ycom-4d28fa7cfe0392d9ba61736711e004e1{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:20px 20px 20px 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-s6ycom-4d28fa7cfe0392d9ba61736711e004e1 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
