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.
