WHY?<\/h3>\n

Around 120 million people from refugee backgrounds in the world. Millions of vacant IT jobs due to digitalization worldwide of which 40,000 in Switzerland alone. We believe that in the 21st century, IT skills will help people from refugee backgrounds to start a new life wherever they are forced to go. We feel it is our responsibility to respond to these social challenges. This is also a reaction to the shortage of qualified IT professionals.<\/p>\n
