Telefonica Foundation and Novia Salcedo Foundation have signed a collaboration agreement at the 42 Urduliz Bizkaia programming campus, which the former promotes with the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, to promote technological talent among young people through training and internships in companies that complement the learning of the most in-demand digital skills in today’s job market.

Both organizations will develop a program of activities aimed at both training in programming and digital skills, as well as the acquisition of transversal competencies to boost technological talent. The purpose of all these actions is to improve the employability of the beneficiary groups,
with a special focus on youth and people in vulnerable situations.

Furthermore, as a result of this collaboration framework, both organizations will exchange experiences and knowledge in order to improve the impact of the planned activity agenda. They will also promote the organization of initiatives that, through the Telefónica Corporate Volunteering program, increase the reach to more groups that could benefit from the activities program.

The four 42 Telefonica Foundation programming campuses in Urduliz (Bizkaia), Barcelona, Malaga, and Madrid will host a large part of the training program, workshops, and talks, becoming key centers for the initiative. In fact, the 42 Urduliz Bizkaia center will be the first
to launch the program.
