Participants acquire the skills they need to find work, defend their rights with government agencies, and stay in touch with family and friends back home. Accredited by PMTIC in 2004, the association has diversified its training courses, ranging from introductory courses to the basics of object-oriented programming in Sirius. Recently, Digistart accreditation has helped to stabilize this policy of reducing the digital divide by working on a range of skills that are essential for navigating a connected world. Together with other partners such as the Wallon network for combating poverty, the association remains vigilant about the digital accessibility of services for those who are most isolated from the internet, certain fundamental services must remain accessible offline, with high-quality human support.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mission and objectives<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n<h3
