In 2018, the Foundation launched Potrero Digital, a response to a challenge identified by renowned film producer Juan Jose Campanella: Argentina lacked trained talent in digital skills for the audiovisual industry. The problem was not a lack of capacity - but a lack of access. Potrero Digital was created to transform inequality into inclusion by providing free digital training that opens pathways to education and employment for people from vulnerable communities. What began as an initiative to connect local talent with the digital economy has evolved into a nationwide network that empowers thousands through technology, education, and opportunity. Potrero Digital is a free training network in digital skills that drives social inclusion and employability through technology education. Since 2018, more than 41,000 people have completed our programs, achieving a 55% job placement rate in the technology sector. In partnership with global leaders such as Google, AWS, and Cisco, we provide training in digital trades, technical English, and socio-emotional skills for individuals facing socioeconomic barriers. Our hybrid learning model combines online and in-person instruction, ensuring real and accessible opportunities for all participants. Through Potrero Empleos, our job placement platform, we connect graduates with IT companies seeking emerging talent. Potrero Digital not only teaches technology - it creates opportunities, strengthens career pathways, and transforms lives.
