Fundación Telefónica connects people with the new employability
The rapid implementation of digitization in recent years has made knowledge of new technologies essential in all sectors and in all professional categories.
Mastering digital skills is essential to access any job. And it is that the new professions are transforming the labor ecosystem giving birth to new professional profiles that, until a few years ago, were not even glimpsed.
With the aim of not leaving anyone behind, Fundación Telefónica works to provide society with these skills and bring them closer to the new employability. For this reason, it promotes, develops and teaches digital training programs on the new profiles demanded by the labor market, reducing the educational gap and access to the new opportunities offered by digitization. Thus, in 2021 more than 1.2 million people, in the 10 countries in which it is present, benefited from these programs and in 2022 it continues to underpin this commitment by expanding with new content and themes.
Connect Employment, transversal digital skills to all sectors
The digital training program, Connect Employment, offers more than 20 tutored courses and self-study so that anyone can train and become a web developer, cybersecurity expert, digital marketing or data architect.
Likewise, Professionals 4.0, promoted with the support of CEOE, promotes, through transversal knowledge and specific skills, the digitization of key productive sectors in our country. The seventh edition of the Construction Nanograde 4.0 is currently being developed with the support of the Construction Labor Foundation, with which its workers are provided with digital skills; the Nanogrado de Transporte 4.0, together with ASTIC and CONFEBUS and, recently launched, in the Nanogrado Hortofrutícola 4.0, in collaboration with CEOE and FEPEX, the application of new technologies in this sector is promoted.
