Maria Schools

The funds raised from Crédit Mutuel Innovation and Business Angels will enable Maria Schools to accelerate its development, expand its network of schools and enhance their complementary qualities. Maria Schools is also planning to launch a community e-learning platform and to create 4 new schools by 2023.

The Maria Schools learning institutions offer a ground-breaking learning experience through:

• Innovative teaching methods that disrupts traditional and theoretical pedagogy, empowering students through learning-by -doing.
• Courses which are not given by teachers but by the best-in-class entrepreneurs, by experts from the field and by those with a proven experience of the digital economy.
• A network of committed alumni, a community of professionals who make career change possible.

For companies, Maria Schools is a unique gateway enabling their employees to adopt the mindset, acquire and practice the skills and competences required to transform their organisations.

For the individual, Maria Schools offers a broad range of short, practical, diverse and regular training courses to help them remain at the cutting edge.

"We are convinced that companies' ability to accelerate digital transformation calls for constant adaptation at the human level. Maria Schools intends to meet this growing demand for training by preparing individuals for the ongoing process of change in the company environment. This fundraising enables us to accelerate the deployment of our schools and to develop the first community e-learning platform. The support from Crédit Mutuel Innovation enables us to tackle the transformation issues faced by our company clients by designing programmes that meet their very real and constantly developing needs", explains Agnès Alazard, co-founder of Maria Schools.

"Crédit Mutuel Innovation focuses its investments on start-ups, helping companies to meet the challenges of digital transformation. Given that 50% of current jobs will be automated by 2050 and that 85% of jobs in 2030 do not yet exist, it is vital to invest in people and in continuous training. The human factor at the heart of digital is a perfect illustration of our mutualist values", adds Julien Coulon, CEO of Crédit Mutuel Innovation.
