Caritas Europa 2010 Zero Poverty campaign reveals that 1 person in 10 with a job in the EU nonetheless lives in poverty.

Strong of it experience in serving vulnerable or socially excluded groups such as immigrants and long term unemployed, Caritas organisations in Europe are well aware that in today’s digital society, no e-skills very often means no job and social exclusion.

To address this problem, and since 2005, Caritas Europa and Microsoft have been working together, among others, to facilitate IT trainings across Europe targeting disadvantaged and socially excluded people in order to help them find employment and integrate back into mainstream life.
