In this second episode in English, I have the pleasure to welcome Ilham Halib from the Devoteam Foundation, who helps us to better understand skills-based sponsorship.

Skills-based sponsorship is an initiative which aims to put employees of a company at the service of a social cause

In 2018, about 20% of companies were already turning to skills-based sponsorship, when that figure was only 11% in 2015. The health crisis and lockdown periods acted as an accelerator with a demand that tripled in 2020.

For the past 15 years, the Devoteam Foundation has used its tech skills to support non-profit organizations addressing challenges of digital mutation.

Thanks to Ilham’s tips, you will learn:

• Why skills-based sponsorship is a great tool to strengthen your organization and build its sustainability;
• That it is important to have proper ownership of your project to make it successful;
• Dos and don’ts when requesting support for a skills-based project.
