Capgemini
Capgemini aims to use the skills and passions of our people to bridge the digital divide for a future where technology is an opportunity for everyone.
By using the skills and passions of our people, we are bridging the digital divide to shape a future where technology is an opportunity for everyone. Digital skills have become essential for inclusion in society – for everything from working and travelling to receiving medical care and staying informed. We believe no one should be limited in life or work by a lack of digital skills. As part of our global aspiration to support five million people through our digital inclusion programmes by 2030, Capgemini in the UK is taking action to:
- Equip all with digital skills: Reducing the digital divide by supporting those who are currently digitally excluded.
- Open doors to technology careers: Training people who are disconnected from the job market through our digital academies.
- Leverage technology to solve societal challenges: Creating innovative, future focused solutions that benefit our charity partners and the communities where we live and work. We collaborate with expert community organisations based across the UK to identify how and where our digital inclusion initiatives can have the greatest positive impact.
