Empowering societal impact through technology and innovation

More than 40,000 individuals aged 18-40 in the Eindhoven region have limited basic skills. This means they struggle with reading, writing, math and/or digital skills, hindering their full participation in society. This includes tasks like grocery shopping and understanding letters from the municipality. 

Within Eindhoven Engine, a team of students and experts is addressing this issue, by approaching it through different domains such as healthcare, work, financial, education, digital, and family. This team collaborates with an ecosystem that also embraces this problem and aims to create an inclusive society. 

Assignment 

For this challenge, we are seeking motivated students with a passion for technology, innovation, and making an impact in society. Together with the team, you will work on improving fundamental skills in language, mathematics, and digital literacy, making a difference in the lives of people in the Eindhoven region and beyond.
