The LevelUp initiative identifies suitable candidates and gives them free online training, mentoring and introductions to potential employers. The programme is funded and operated on a voluntary basis by Zartis employees.
Zartis has since expanded on its original initiative, setting up a networking group for women software engineers fromwho have had to flee the country, and introducing a new programme to provide online training and internet access women across the Middle East. “We are unashamedly international in our outlook with employees coming from over 30 countries. This obviously played a part in our deciding to set up the initiative we’re involved in. But we’ve also found it of huge benefit to the company in terms of retention as staff are proud to work for a company prepared to back projects like these,” said Padraig Coffey, chief executive of Zartis.
“We’re now looking to expand the programmes we run and are urging other firms to provide between say €5,000 and €10,000 each to really double down on this. For well-funded tech companies this isn’t a huge amount to ask for and not only would it go a long way to helping people in Direct Provision but will also help train up more people, something which is of benefit given the war for talent,” he added.There are more than 7,000 people living in Direct Provision centres across the State.
