Digital Skills

We’re opening doors for the next generation of innovators by creating exciting ways for young people to acquire the skills and resources they need to succeed in the digital economy, while also creating a positive social impact.

We’ve partnered with NGOs across our European operations and helped more than 2,200 people through our digital skills programmes such as our Future Maker Awards, which challenges 7 to 17-year-olds to use their coding superpowers to make positive changes in their communities.
