BDO Unibank welcomed the first batch of on-the-job trainees on cloud-related work as part of its support to the collaboration of YouthWorks PH and Philippine Business Education (PBEd) with Amazon Web Services (AWS), which aims to give free cloud computing skills training for 600 unemployed and out-of-school youths across the Philippines via AWS re/Start.
BDO starts mentorship of out-of-school youth in cloud services
The Bank has committed the expertise of its experienced IT professionals to train 100 youths on cloud services, infrastructure, and network monitoring, system administration, low-risk security operation activities, SIT/UAT testing, and automation scripting.
This December, the first batch will undergo a three-month mentorship and afterward, be eligible for employment opportunities in BDO. But before starting their onsite training with the Bank, the trainees completed remote mentoring, and employability skills, and technical-vocational training with AWS re/Start in Quezon City last month.
“BDO is committed to delivering products and services that exceed customer expectations. As we take our financial services to the next level with the use of cloud technologies, it is vital that we have the right people for the job. Cloud talents trained by AWS re/Start through YouthWorks PH will play a critical role toward this big step towards the future,” said BDO Unibank President and CEO Nestor Tan during the contract-signing event.
BDO is the only bank to be part of this collaborative initiative with AWS and YouthWorks PH, a private-sector-driven youth employability program of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and PBEd. Other partners include technology startups PROUDCLOUD and Launchgarage.
