We've taken a look around, talked with many founders, investors, and business leaders in this space. From the beginning, we did not want to become yet another ‘training program to nowhere.'

This is why a strong focus on creating career opportunities remains a critical, shared incentive for our participants, our organization, our partners, and, ultimately, for our society.

Social enterprises are organizations that seek to create social impact through a market-based approach. As such, our main objective is to make a social impact rather than to make a profit.

To achieve this, we provide services in the market in an entrepreneurial and innovative fashion so we can use the revenue we make to create even more social impact. This creates the necessary tension to deliver better services while not compromising our main reason for being - social impact. Moreover, this works to reduce dependencies on donations and subsidies over time. 

We believe in creating careers, not jobs. Our alumni go on to secure well-paid roles as IT Administrators, Consultants, Business Analysts, and Developers with leading employers and customers directly in the markets where we work. 

This establishes lasting participation in the labor market and ultimately improves their integration and financial independence in their host country.

Moreover, we welcome each participant into our vibrant, global Alumni community for life to provide continuous learning, valuable connections, and opportunities for further professional development.

We aim provide all this, plus cover all program related expenses, for each participant, free of charge, forever.

Social impact is a marathon, not a sprint. Change takes time. People take time. 

Our roadmap to impact includes both quantitative and qualitative outcomes, with an overall goal to build a more diverse and integrated community of technical professionals where talent is globally recognized and opportunities are equally accessible.

The labor market is not a level playing field and newcomers face many barriers. We believe that access to the labor market is essential for newcomers. Research shows that having a career allows newcomers to live autonomously and independently, but also fulfills many important needs: it improves language skills, increases cultural awareness, builds local and social networks, increases social participation, and improves physical and mental health.

Reducing and removing these barriers to the labor market takes time. This is why we are in this for the long term. Our goals are aligned towards 2030 and include:

1. We aim to reach 10.000 newcomers through our training programs. 

2. We strive to reach a 70%  employment rate for  Alumni who successfully complete our programs. 

3. We seek to reach a 50/50 program gender mix across our programs.
