Targeted tech training in the Czech Republic

Fact 1: The Czech Republic is currently suffering from a significant tech skills gap. Fact 2: Single mothers, female care leavers and women with disabilities often have a talent for IT but lack the advantages needed to turn talent into a career.

Czechitas Foundation put these two facts together and came up with the ingenious solution of the“Digital Academy”. The three-month, hands-on programme provides training in data analysis, testing and web development, as well as career guidance, soft skills and contacts at partner companies. This year, ten talented but disadvantaged women have been empowered to turbocharge their futures. Thanks to the generosity of Pluxee and Stop Hunger, they have received full tuition. They also received meal vouchers and mentoring from Pluxee.

Thank you!

The Digital Academy was an irreplaceable experience for me and I am happy
that Stop Hunger and Pluxee decided to help not only me but also other women in
this way.
