Since the launch of the association, three support programs have been set up and more than 10,000 jobseekers have been supported.
This meeting is taking place as part of 13M, the first gas pedal dedicated to digital inclusion by Banque des Territoires, Groupe SOS, H7 and Pulse.

Interview with Mathieu Nebra, co-founder and CIO of OpenClassrooms
In 1999, Mathieu Nebra was 13 years old and wanted to learn how to create a website. At the time, he was faced with a major difficulty: the teenager could find neither suitable content online nor a beginner’s manual in bookshops, and only had access to a book aimed at professionals.
“I found it unnecessarily complicated and decided to open a site where I explain to others how to create a site.” He then created the “Site du zéro”, which quickly gained notoriety. Mathieu welcomed a new partner, Pierre Dubuc, an engineer and user of the “Site du zéro”.
Together, the two enthusiasts founded their company “Simple IT” while continuing their studies. Two years later, the duo opened a 35-square-meter office and hired their first employees.
In 2015, the “Site du zéro” officially changed its name to OpenClassrooms .
