PN’s 1st center in Africa
Launched in 2022 in Antananarivo, Passerelles Numériques Madagascar (PNM), provides a one-year post-high school preparatory course, based on a holistic educational approach including technical skills and professional development (soft skills). PNM is registered as a local association (under the name “Passerelles Numériques Madagasikara”).

Country context
Madagascar is 1 of the 5 poorest countries in the world. Only 11% of Malagasy people have formal employment.
2/3 of the population is under 25 years old and about 500,000 young people enter the job market each year.
The enrollment rate falls to 13% for higher education. However, the island faces a growing need for qualified workers in the digital field.
Our Local Impact
Since 2022, PN Madagascar has transformed the lives of nearly 530 people (students & their families) through IT education.

Our Training Program
Passerelles Numériques has implemented an innovative and comprehensive training program in each of its centers, focused on long-term employability.

A preparatory class in Computer Science
PNM operates a bit differently from other centers. Indeed, PNM provides a one-year post-high school preparatory course to young Malagasy students. The training is divided between academic classes and interventions from partners in the digital field.
During this preparatory year, students will develop their cross-functional, technical and soft skills essential to a sustainable career in an era of digital transformation. PNM offers 2 specializations – Sciences, Technologies and Digital & Letters, Communication & Digital. At the end of this preparatory year, we guide our students towards post graduate studies through tailored guidance adapted to their skills, desires and in line with the needs of the local market.
Those who choose to pursue their studies (90% of our two first classes) are offered a scholarship as well as a socio-educational follow-up until they find a secure job.






Our Selection Process
Every year, from March to September, the Passerelles Numériques Madagascar selection team conducts a fair and rigorous 4-step selection process. Closely working with partner high schools and NGOs, the objective is to select 50 young talents from disadvantaged backgrounds who are motivated to join PNM. We aim for at least 50% of students to be young women.





Our Areas of Operation
Each year, our selection process targets the most underserved areas of rural provinces in Madagascar, focusing on remote, difficult to access areas where educational and employment opportunities are scarce. Our beneficiaries come from many provinces.

PNM through the years
Passerelles Numériques Madagascar is the last center opened by PN and the first in Africa.
Starting with a class of 25 students in 2022, it now welcomes 50 new students each year.

The French Development Agency supports our program. The “Vavahady Niomerika” project aims to promote access to digital training, guidance and employability for the most disadvantaged young high school graduates, and more particularly girls, in Madagascar.

PNM is incorporating a new specialization into its curriculum for students in “Letters, Communication, and Digital (LCD).”

PN Madagascar is relocating and inaugurating its new center. This year also marks a significant milestone, with the capacity doubling as the class size increases from 25 to 50 students.

Four PNM students won the Créathon—an international innovation competition—and were invited to Poitiers, France.
