Computer enthusiast and self-taught, Lamine BARRO is a young Ivorian graduate of Biological Sciences at the University Péléforo Gon Coulibaly (Côte d’Ivoire). After working for Microsoft as a member of the Microsoft Supplier Program (MSP) and in several local companies, he figured out the mismatch between training and employment and therefore the positive impact that continuing education can have on a professional career. Lamine BARRO then decided to embark on the Etudesk adventure, full time, by developing his e-learning platform.
Founded in 2016, Etudesk helps companies and academic institutions digitize their training offers and make them accessible to more people, while improving the learning experience. Overall, since the company’s launch, more than 400 organizations (SMEs, startups, corporates, government, international organizations) have used Etudesk's e-learning platform to train over 50,000 people in 17 countries.
