The world's first platform to offer 100% online state-recognized training and qualifications, the site now trains a community of 2 million online learners. Thanks to the support of its investors, OpenClassrooms is empowering itself to achieve its ambitions: to train 20 million people by 2020. Fostering Employability OpenClassrooms' goal is to enhance everyone's employability, particularly in the growing digital professions. The platform enables students, professionals, and job seekers to acquire the necessary skills for successful career integration. In an era of digital revolution impacting all sectors, OpenClassrooms also caters to companies looking to succeed in their digital transformation by training their employees. Since October 2015, the company has partnered with Pôle Emploi (the French employment agency) to offer job seekers free and unlimited access to the platform's courses and exercises. In the context of the government's recently launched plan to train 500,000 job seekers, OpenClassrooms has established itself as an ideal partner to train them for the jobs of tomorrow. This partnership already boasts over 30,000 beneficiaries. Training the World for the Jobs of Tomorrow With 40% of its audience already outside France and several courses available in three languages (French, English, Spanish), OpenClassrooms is now aiming for rapid international expansion. The company will establish itself in the British and Spanish markets, which are also experiencing a shortage of qualified digital personnel. Therefore, starting in October 2016, OpenClassrooms will offer localized content to meet the needs of users and businesses.
