The UN Refugee Agency reports over 35.3 million global refugees, with 2022 seeing the most significant increase in refugee status. Despite being educated and motivated, many refugees resort to unsustainable manual labor. However, with 97 million new AI/automation/tech roles emerging, as per the World Economic Forum, there’s potential for refugees to secure dignified, upwardly mobile careers. VeroSkills aims to bridge this gap by retraining refugees for the most bleeding-edge tech roles through a platform where 3,000+ industry-leading tutors from top companies train them in a 6-month intensive program. Successful trainees are placed in apprenticeships and jobs, providing a sustainable future for themselves and their families.
