This alliance aims to empower people through training in digital and technical skills, increasing their competitiveness in the labor market and opening the door to new economic opportunities, especially for those looking for their first job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trust for the Americas, an international NGO with a significant impact in the Americas, promotes synergies between the public and private sectors, seeking to generate a positive change in the lives of millions of people. In 2022, Ernst &amp; Young (EY) took the initiative and joined the POETA DigiSpark project to deliver Future Skills Workshops, a platform to help beneficiaries acquire the necessary skills for employability in today&#8217;s world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be noted that Microsoft and The Trust have been allies for more than 15 years in favor of empowering vulnerable communities in the Americas through the access, use and appropriation of technology. Funded by Microsoft Philanthropy, the POETA DigiSpark project continues to spearhead Microsoft&#8217;s Global Skilling Initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is thanks to access to training and mentoring to people most affected by the recent loss of jobs or who are at risk of being replaced by automation processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the opening of this meeting, Ver\u00f3nica Philippe, Manager of the POETA DigiSpark Project of The Trust for the Americas, highlighted that &#8220;It is thanks to the alliance between different actors such as private companies, social organizations and NGOs, as well as international organizations that we can bring international development efforts like today&#8217;s training.\u201d Ver\u00f3nica proceeded to thank the local partners POETA DigiSpark in Chile \u2013 Innovacien, CDI Chile, Fundaci\u00f3n Lace \u2013 for their enormous support; as well as Fundaci\u00f3n de las Familias for their willingness and commitment in offering us the space of their training center to celebrate the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the framework of this alliance, EY volunteers led these workshops, providing training to people over the age of 16, especially those who are unemployed or underemployed, in the FSW Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy content. This training opens ways to compete in the labor market, whether it is looking for a job, a promotion, an internship, creating or strengthening a business, or starting or advancing in their formal education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this sense, Patricio Cofre, a partner in Data Analytics Consulting at EY Chile, commented: &#8220;Contributing to people improving their economic opportunities through the use of modern tools is something that brings us closer to our purpose as a company.

In this sense, Jorge Cella, Director of Philanthropy Microsoft Latin America, pointed out that \u201ccollaboration, technological learning and inclusion are key for Microsoft. By providing people with digital skills, we seek to support them so that they can improve their employment situation and thus better adapt to the changing needs of the market. We cannot achieve these objectives by working alone, the only way to begin to solve these social problems is by working in collaboration with different organizations.
