We want to bring technology and its benefits to all people in order to build fairer, more prosperous and sustainable societies.

DIGITAL INCLUSION. Digitalization must serve to improve people’s lives and fight inequality. We need all people, regardless of their status, to have equal access and training to take advantage of the benefits of technology. Accessibility, inclusiveness, digital skills and responsible use are part of DigitalES’ action policies.

TRAINING AND EMPLOYABILITY. Developing digital skills is necessary, but not sufficient. Our country needs companies and institutions to collaborate to ensure that these acquired skills are aligned with the needs of today’s labor market.

Vocations for employment

Future Voices

We group in this program different initiatives to promote STEAM vocations and the employability of young talent in Spain, in collaboration with the best organizations. Together, we want to give a voice to the professionals of tomorrow. They are our Future Voices.

Mentoring to inspire

The companies that are part of DigitalES and their professionals, the best inspiration for the next employees of tomorrow.

We collaborate with Fundación Bertelsmann and Junior Achievement in career guidance initiatives led by experts and company technicians.

With the program “Companies that inspire”, we help students discover careers, identify interests and vocations, dismantle gender stereotypes we help students to discover professions, identify interests and vocations, dismantle gender stereotypes and awaken STEAM vocations with real-life testimonials.

In addition, together with the foundation Junior Achievment foundation, we have a collaboration agreement for volunteers from our companies to help teachers and students develop specific skills in AI, both technical and ethical, ensuring that participants can use these technologies responsibly.

Internet Governance Forum

DigitalES collaborates with Youth IGF Spain, the first forum for young people on the future of the Internet that aims to involve profiles between 16 and 35 years old in the discussion on normalization, standardization and regulation of disruptive technologies.

Other programs

Aware that minors and teenagers can access digital content aimed at adults, putting their personal and emotional development at risk, we support the request for a State Pact to protect minors and adolescents on the Internet and social networks, committed to building a safer and more responsible digital environment among all the companies and public administrations involved.

We gathered around a round table discussion with third sector organizations to share success stories in which digitization has been key, and to identify needs where technology can generate a significant change.

We address issues of great social relevance, such as the digital footprint in adolescents, the inclusion of migrants, digital accessibility for people with functional diversity or the impact of technology on mental health.

DigitalES participates in the digital skills training project POR TALENTO DIGITAL, aimed at people with disabilities promoted by Fundación ONCE.

The objective is to multiply the job prospects of people with disabilities, offering them a gateway to one of the sectors with the best employment prospects and better pay.

More than 5,500 people with disabilities received training in highly employable digital subjects last year. 

DigitalES is working on a public-private plan to bring connectivity and technological services to rural areas. This project seeks to boost the local economy, curb depopulation and attract remote professionals.

A first step has been the collaboration agreement with the government of Andalusia, which we hope other autonomous communities will join.

They are ready, they are smart and they want it all NOW. They are “Generation A”, those girls who are called to lead the next technological change. They are the engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians of tomorrow. The future is written with “A”.

 

What would happen if CEOs went back to college and sat down to talk one-on-one with some of the brightest and most inquiring voices in this country? The answer in our FUTURE TALKS videos. 30 talks, 60 CEOs and 60 young people talking about the future.
