Welcome to DSF France!

 

We began as Digital Skills Foundation, with the aim of laying the essential groundwork for digital literacy. As the digital landscape rapidly evolved and learners’ needs shifted, it became crucial to offer practical, hands-on skills accessible at scale.

To meet these new challenges, we became Digital Skills Factory.

This new identity reflects our commitment to innovation, large-scale impact, and empowering everyone to thrive in today’s digital world.

In short, we have moved from laying the foundations to building the future.
