Leveraging technology to empower jobseekers

PREPARING FOR A CAREER REQUIRES
More Than
Job Skills

We combined Accenture technology with the Fundación Entreculturas (Fe y Alegría in Latin America, ECCA Radio in Spain, Pedro Arrupe Bachelor in Mexico and Jesuits Refugees Service in Africa) network to create an innovative, market-oriented virtual learning program for disadvantaged young people in more than 20 countries across Latin America, Europe and Africa.

Together, we are leveraging our Emplea+ digital learning platform to skill students at more than 500 schools, and have developed a job placement service to connect participants with local employers.

To date, our partnership has led to:

140,000

youth skilled

175,000

youth expected to gain job skills by the end of 2018

60,000

youth expected to obtain employment

STORIES OF
EMPOWERMENT

José, who lives in Bolivia, was working in construction, a very physical job, in which he saw no future. Through Entreculturas he received digital training in basic workplace and job search skills, and obtained an internship, which led to his current job at a silo-making company.

“In Boliva we learned first-hand about Accenture’s work with Fundación Entreculturas. Those that volunteer can be sure their contributions make a difference.”
