Digital Entrepreneurship

To take into account the prevalence of digital technology in the world, SOS Children’s Villages has developed international partnerships through which two types of training are provided :

ICDL

International Certification in Digital Literacy (ICDL) is an international benchmark for digital skills certification. This certification, adopted by the Beninese government and other states and institutions, provides digital skills for employability and productivity. SOS Children’s Villages is accredited for ICDL training in Benin. The training costs 80,000 CFA francs per module (Computer and Internet Basics, Word Processing, Spreadsheets, Presentation, Project Management, Computer Security).

Founded in 2014, CodersTrust has already trained more than 12,000 people worldwide.
