Simplon.co

A network of 
socially-conscious digital factories

Simplon.co is a network of social digital factories that offer free, intensive courses in digital professions in France and abroad.

Presentation

At the heart of Simplon.co’s work are courses in technical digital skills and hard-to-fill occupations for people alienated from work with a goal of male/female parity as well as for employees in need of reskilling or upskilling. We firmly believe that digital transformation is a powerful vehicle for social innovation and that it can enable those who struggle to access training and/or the job market, to become the talents of tomorrow, by finding a job or becoming an entrepreneur. There are several ways to deploy abroad, depending on local market needs and situations. We can either decide to opened factories directly in the country or we can choose to rely on existing local organizations, in the form of a social franchise or knowledge partnership.
