Dear Friend,
Thank you so much for your support of underpriveledged youth in Madagascar. Your support helps to give them access to a sustainble career path in IT.
More info on our program:
During a one-year post-high school preparatory course, young Malagasy students are introduced to and trained in digital careers. Their training is divided between academic classes and pro-bono interventions from private companies supporting the project. The training incorporates innovative and interactive educational approaches that allow for an in-depth learning process and the improvement of problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt to new challenges. The training program is spread over 2 semesters and is made of four educational modules and internship: applied sciences, IT, languages and communication, soft skills. Students also visit universities and companies to discover possibilities in terms of orientation and the realities of the job market. In addition, they complete a one-month internship at the end of the preparation year to better understand and experience professional life. At the end of this preparatory year, we guide our students towards post graduate studies or a professional path, through a tailored guidance adapted to their skills, their desires and in line with the needs of the local market. Those who pursue their studies (100% of our inaugural class) are offered scholarships as well as a socio-educational follow-up until they find a secure job.
Thank you - your support creates lasting change!
