IBM SkillsBuild

We support motivated individuals interested in improving their digital skills and employability. 

Since we address homelessness and poverty in a holistic way, we accept every motivated individual, who wants to participate in the process of ending homelessness and reducing poverty with our community. Digitalization plays a key role in empowerment, which is why we’ve partnered up with IBM SkillsBuild: We are providing this opportunity to all of our stakeholders!
