IBM to upskill 30M Filipinos by 2030
Multinational tech corporation IBM announced their commitment to providing 30 million Filipinos of all ages with new skills needed for future jobs by 2030.
Last October 15, IBM announced a clear roadmap with more than 170 new academic and industrial partnerships to expand access to education and in-demand technical roles in the country.
IBM Philippines President and Country General Manager Aileen Judan-Jiao said that the pandemic-induced technology adoption increased the demand “for new skills, jobs, roles at the forefront of the data and AI economy.”
Judan-Jiao stated that IBM will help “equip the future human-led and technology-enabled workforce of our country” to improve their skills and employability.
This will greatly benefit new graduates and individuals who want to enter the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry to develop their skills in the sector.
IBM plans to utilize its broad combinations of programs and collaborate with universities, key government entities, employment agencies, and NGOs to open and expand opportunities for “underrepresented and historically disadvantaged communities.”
