At the same time, Mazars in South Africa has identified a difficulty in hiring auditors with the necessary skills for their IT audit services. This situation persisted over the years despite there being a broad talent pool with degrees in subjects like sciences and mathematics. Within this context, the data school was created to train unemployed graduates in the use of data analytics tools, such as Microsoft Excel, Python and Microsoft Sequel. The objective is to equip young adults with the specific skills required to become IT auditors at Mazars—or at any other organisation suited to their needs.

The purpose of this initiative is to empower women with disabilities who have been victims of gender-based violence and harassment through employment and entrepreneurship. Five partners from Mazars in Spain have engaged in monthly one-on-one mentoring sessions, as well as employment and business creation and management workshops to help these women throughout their recovery process. This individualised support has helped them to acquire new skills and regain confidence in themselves to re-enter the labour market and become financially independent.
