At KATRO, we know from experience that socially excluded groups from the labor market have a huge and unused potential.

As a CR consulting company, at KATRO we pay special attention to the labor integration of various socially excluded groups. Our efforts are focused on trainings on legal, social, intercultural and psychological issues of companies and organizations in the public and non-governmental sectors, organizing meetings between employers and potential employees of migrant origin, providing individual careers counseling and support to disadvantaged young people, NEETs, young cancer survivors, people out of work due to informal hospice care at home, and people with acquired disabilities following an accident or illness that has seriously affected the personal and their professional lives.

We create methods and products to support overall employee well-being and prosperity by leveraging up-to-date data and research on workplace dynamics. Advances in modern technology and science, as well as our expertise in the fields of neuroscience and psychology, give us a starting point for dealing with every problem we encounter in the work environment, but also for guiding employers to opportunities for development and well-being – for them and their employees.

Our green contribution is to introduce business to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, as well as linking them to the continuing professional development of employees. Environment and climate action are key priorities for the EU, so we are also developing green training for everyone as a tool to build knowledge, skills and attitudes to combat climate change and support sustainable lifestyles.

We believe that acquiring new knowledge and skills should not be limited to classroom learning. Therefore, we pay particular attention to the validation of the competences developed through non-formal and informal learning – the so-called soft or transferable skills. Businesses today value them no less than the “hard” skills specific to each position. Our focus within various European projects is also intercultural competences, volunteering, creativity and innovative thinking.

We consider creativity and innovation as a top priority in non-formal education. We therefore encourage the development of entrepreneurial mindsets and attitudes, both in disadvantaged and unemployed youth, and in adults taking vocational education and training courses.
We support people over 55 who have a desire or are forced by demographic reality to extend their professional career, as well as organizations in implementing modern innovation management standards.

We support different groups of people in the smooth digital transition and in participating fully in the modern civil democratic society. We do this by improving their skills to search and find jobs online, to use e-government services skillfully, to learn online, to recognize fake news online, to develop their digital competences. We strive to develop their critical digital and media literacy and help them protect themselves from the increasingly widespread misinformation. We also support small and medium-sized enterprises in fully exploiting the market potential that lies in the application of artificial intelligence and digital data analysis in their business.

A formal learning environment that relies on holistic approaches to learning and development is key for all age groups, and we strive to modernize it and make it easier to adapt to new realities. By developing innovative blended learning programs, we work to overcome various barriers related to creativity and innovation management at the intersection between higher education and business, with the application of modern approaches to curate and present educational content for adults, with the inclusion of students with neuroatypical behavior (such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in the classroom, with the application of European standards for the protection of personal data, etc.

We work for the psychological empowerment of various groups, and in particular women, victims of domestic violence, through technological innovation and providing psychological support on their way to economic independence. Through our participation in sustainable European projects, we contribute to raising awareness of this sensitive issue, both in the corporate sector and among society as a whole.
