Big thanks to HP employee volunteers 👷🏽♀️👷🏽♂️ in Romania who rolled up their sleeves, put on their hats, and helped renovate a home 🏡 to give vulnerable children a place to learn, grow, and thrive! ✨

"Offline doesn't have to mean off-limits". So true when it comes to digital equity. It's why I'm excited to share that learners who use the HP LIFE mobile app can now access many courses offline. This expands opportunities to reach new learners around the world - and will be of particular use to those based in areas with sparse connectivity.   HP LIFE is a free program of the HP Foundation, offering 30+ free courses in eight languages. Topics? Everything from digital business skills to marketing to leveraging a "success mindset". Come be part of a community with over 1.3 million 'lifelong learners'. #digitalequity #skills

We're proud to collaborate with partners who are equipping people in communities all over the world 🌍 with the skills they need to thrive in the digital future. Thanks to UNDP Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (UNDP ICPSD) and UNDP Guinea-Bissau who are using HP LIFE to pave the way for a brighter entrepreneurial future in Guinea-Bissau. 👏

As the world becomes increasingly digital, knowing how to keep both personal and business data safe is critical. HP LIFE's latest FREE course, Introduction to Cybersecurity Awareness, is a great way for anyone to learn about concepts such as phishing, ransomware, and malware and how to protect against them. Thanks 👏🏼 to HP's Cybersecurity experts who volunteered their time and shared their expertise to help develop the course!

After receiving a record-breaking 700 applications from 80+ countries and regions around the world, the top 30 teams have been chosen to take part in #BeChangeMaker 2024 organized by WorldSkills International, the HP Foundation and UNESCO-UNEVOC.   #BeChangeMaker is a virtual social entrepreneurship training program that offers people across the globe the chance to bring their idea for a social business to life. It’s one of the ways the HP Foundation supports HP's goal to accelerate digital equity for 150 million people by 2030.   This year’s participating teams have developed innovative business ideas spanning sustainable agriculture, ocean monitoring, inclusive education, and increasing access to medicines for marginalized communities. Over the next three months, they will benefit from tools and technology to support their growth, personalized coaching to help them navigate the challenges of building and scaling a social enterprise, and learning content provided by the HP Foundation’s free business skills training program, HP LIFE. Their journey will culminate in a live final pitch at WorldSkills Conference 2024 in Lyon, France, where the top five teams will showcase their solutions on a global stage.   Thanks to all the teams who shared their BIG ideas to change the world and congratulations to the 30 participating teams as they work to build their sustainable businesses!

HP released its 2023 Sustainable Impact Report showing the progress it has made to pave the way for a more sustainable and just future. HP and the HP Foundation believe all individuals should have the opportunity to thrive in our increasingly digital world. Since 2021, HP has accelerated #digitalequity for more than 45 million people, nearly a third of the way to its goal of reaching 150 million people by 2030. The HP Foundation’s HP LIFE program, which enables users to learn in-demand skills free of charge, is one of the ways we contribute to this goal. #SustainableImpact #Skillsforthefuture
