A platform built by engineers who knew what was missing

When Aya Aweisat graduated, she realised that having a degree in engineering was not enough. Like many others, she found that universities offered theory but very little preparation for real-world work. Instead of accepting that gap, she worked with four other engineers from different fields to do something about it.

Together they launched Eng4You, a digital education platform offering practical courses, tutorials, and career advice in Arabic, English, and Turkish. It supports engineering students, new graduates, and professionals looking to strengthen their skills and prepare for work. The team’s goal is to make high-quality, relevant education available to as many people as possible, regardless of where they live or how much they can pay.

The platform offers more than technical content. It helps learners understand their career options, prepare for interviews, and find job opportunities that match their skills. The focus is on clarity, quality, and accessibility.

Equipping the team for the next step

Eng4You joined the Riyada programme to build the systems it needed to grow. The programme, developed by SPARK and the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, provides training, mentorship, and funding to early-stage businesses across Palestine. It also works with Business Support Centres and universities to improve the wider support available to entrepreneurs.

“The financial support from SPARK helped in several areas. We invested in software that we now use across the company and were also able to purchase the domain for our website. The programme also helped us expand our network and think more strategically,” Aya said.

The funding allowed the team to focus on the tools and infrastructure that make the platform more stable, more visible, and more scalable. It also helped improve day-to-day operations, from content development to learner support.

Preparing to move beyond the screen

Eng4You continues to operate online, but the team has plans to open a physical office. Their long-term vision is to create Eng4You City, a hub that brings together services, learning, and collaboration across all engineering disciplines. It is an ambitious project grounded in practical experience and shared purpose.

“Right now, we are still working remotely, but we want to build something bigger. A space where we can bring everything together under one roof,” Aya said.

Eng4You is not trying to replace university education, it is trying to complete it. With the right support and a growing community of learners and contributors, it is creating something that engineers in the region have long needed – a place to learn what matters, in a way that works.
