Simplon is an organization that helps paving the way for equal chances in terms of employment. As this often requires digital skills, Simplon arranges coding labs and training programs to train the development of digital competencies. They offer different programs and invest their energy to prepare all learners for a successful entrance into the job market, regardless of one's geographical, cultural, religious or medical background. Simplon wants to make sure that no one is left behind. We are grateful to fight digital inequality together with them, striving to a more equal digital landscape together.

Leaving no one behind.

As a result, Close the Gap has a trusted and longstanding relationship with Simplon, a collaboration though which we believe we can make a difference. Over the years, we have supplied them with more than 700 devices until today. Most of these devices are used by Simplon Senegal, while other equipment is deployed in Niger, Mali and Guinée. We are happy to provide material for Simplon’s courses and are grateful to close the gap with them!
