Empowering Futures through Digital Skills Report

Work in progress

In the past couple of months at Humans in the Loop Foundation, we have started two new trainings. Our HITL Digital Marketing - Hybrid course which launched in November 2023 and is set to finish in April 2024, has started with a total of 29 participants. In November 2023 we also launched our new course HITL Intro to Business Analytics which started with 20 participants and had a Graduation event on the 13th of March with a total of 6 successful graduates.

In January, we also started two new English language courses. We believe that English language is vital to opening up the global digital economy. On January 15th a total of 62 people started A2 and B1 courses with HITL Foundation and the course is set to finish on the 3rd of April.

Additionally, in late February, we launched a pilot project in Kenya, where we are providing participants (both locals and people with refugee status in Kenya) with annotation skills. We have conducted a train-the-trainer with a local representative on the ground who is supporting all participants throughout their skills-building process. At the moment we are working with 40 people, aiming to reach 120 people by the end of 2024.

Furthermore, we are preparing a shared program with HP Bulgaria for their 40 Days of Doing Good initiative. The program will aim to pair HP workers who would pro-bono support between 15 and 20 of our beneficiaries, in work-related skills improvement in English language - preparing for an interview, writing a CV, writing a motivation letter, etc.
