SoftServe Receives Two Corporate Engagement Awards Honoring its Global Charity Fund and Education Initiative for Underprivileged Children

SoftServe was honored for Open Eyes, a corporate fund launched in 2014 to support humanitarian aid and defender support, infrastructure and reconstruction, education, healthcare, and cultural and environmental well-being. Open Eyes has achieved global involvement and reach.

IT Pupil is a yearly Open Eyes initiative. It was recognized as Best Pro Bono Work for a Charitable, Social or Ethical Cause. The two-month program for orphans and children from low-income households develops basic knowledge in IT technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With a focus on English proficiency, the course also teaches soft skills, including leadership development, collaboration, self-starter approaches, and public speaking.

Since IT Pupil’s inception in 2017, the program has produced 70 graduates with IT skills and the confidence to create an independent, financially stable future. Several graduates have obtained university degrees, and even found a career with SoftServe.

CEA was launched in 2011 by Communicate, a London-based magazine highlighting companies’ engagements with their stakeholders: the press, investors, employees, regulators, the supply chain, and the communities in which they operate.
