Supporting Social Mobility
Partnering with Niya to close the technology skills gap
Niya is an NGO focused on training refugees and matching them with work opportunities around the world. Its mission aligns with our objectives, which include providing more technological opportunities to more people, and our partnership continues to expand. This year, we supported our fifth cohort, providing AI technology scholarships.
- 50 participants
- 29 nationalities
- 50/50 gender split
Participants have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of AI by exploring data science, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, generative AI, prompt engineering and AI ethics. To graduate, the participants developed capstone projects incorporating the skills they learned. They also worked on their soft skills by receiving training in communication, interviewing and resume writing. We are committed to building a more inclusive future where everyone has the chance to succeed and contribute to a sustainable, diverse workforce.
We are immensely proud of our partnership with Endava. Since the beginning of our collaboration, through Niya's community and platform, we have up-skilled over 150 participants from underrepresented communities, reaching individuals from 35 nationalities. By focusing on indemand tech and data courses, Endava is helping close the skills gap and drive social mobility. Together, we develop a pool of talented and skilled future technologists by offering tech training and creating meaningful development opportunities. We are incredibly excited about expanding this partnership in the years to come.
