This study aims to find about partnership between universities and civil institutions for developing young graduates. The study tried to uncover the targets behind this partnership, its forms, advantages, and challenges faced by both universities and civil institutions. The study also gives some future insights to consolidate the relationship between them. To achieve these targets, the study made two interview applications. The first application is for young graduates who benefited from the partnership in Cairo University, Tanta University, and Assiut University. The second application is for officials at universities and civil institutions. The study found that this partnership have not achieved its goals, i.e. developing young graduates, thus developing the society as a whole. The study found out that there are no partnership contracts between universities and civil institutions other than the three universities where we performed the field study. This indicates that some universities and civil organizations are unaware of young graduates needs. The study suggests the necessity for developing a strategy to activate this partnership inside universities to achieve goals of the society. Also, there should be a constant fund to achieve partnership targets, as this is a fundamental element to achieve this partnership and consolidate its relationship with what the society need. As well, all bureaucratic procedures that inhibit this partnership should be facilitated. (Published Abstract)
