From Paris Region Scaling Center
Simplon.co proposes a free ICT training program
for young people far from employment in order to
give them access to employment or capacity for
would be new entrepreneurs. It works with a very
high agility level managing project-events,
proposing training-confrontations with agility for
big companies, proposing coding clubs for
children animated by people in training.
Replicating yet in France and Europe in a flexible
model, they were looking for advice on their
governance, and on social impact measuring (with
R&D) in order to evaluate the empowerment for
beneficiaries of Simplon training. TRANSITION
program pointed out financial and organizational
lacks of maturity, provided a framework to
organize teams responsibility by stream, identified
lacks
of
competences,
packaged
the
non-negotiable base for replication, launched a
social impact measuring program in order to
evaluate the empowerment for beneficiaries of
Simplon training. In that case, TRANSITION
focussed on the company structure (process,
skills, offer…), in order to scale more quickly and
safer.
