CBTalents valuated at 1 million €
by private investor
CBTalents http://www.cbtalents.com/en is an innovative Portuguese SME in
the training of ICT professionals, beneficiary of the European “SME instrument”
(Phase 1). CBTalents wants to provide solutions for the 13% shortage of high
skilled individuals globally.
In September 2015, the European “SME instrument” invested 50,000 euros into
CBTalents via the Horizon 2020 programme, in order to work for solving the skills
shortage challenge on the volatile labour markets. The global shortage of skilled
workers will amount to 85 million by 2020.
In May 2016 a private investor - Mr Ben Noteboom - valuated CBT at 1,000,000€ and
invested accordingly becoming – not only a shareholder - an extremely valuable
business adviser due to his unique experience in the recruitment and staffing market.
CBTalents Academy seeks to
establish the link between the
knowledge acquired and the
labour market. It offers a solution
for the global skills shortage, and
helps its students understand IT
trends and improve their career
prospects.
The mission of the company is to find, train and employ about half a million ICT
professionals until 2020.
"For CBT the grant from the European Commission was very
important as it greatly opened doors to attract new clients and
engage cross border talents to be trained in ICT tailor made
courses financed by our customer´s that at the end of the
training employ them in their operations across Europe
creating employment, retaining investment and improving
digital literacy in the old continent´s society.
It has also been a valuable experience to get to know the
funding Instruments promoted by EASME and we are very
grateful to be able to share this information with other SME´s
in events like LTW helping them to accelerate their success.
