Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. To deliver on this mission, Microsoft is laser-focused on delivering four commitments to: support inclusive economic growth, protect fundamental rights, create a sustainable future, and earn trust. With a profound belief in technology's capacity to empower people worldwide, Microsoft is actively working to bridge the digital divide and build a more inclusive skills-based economy for individuals with disabilities. They deliver on this work through substantial investments in the global skills initiatives, specifically the SkillingUp program administered by March of Dimes Canada.
Microsoft's support for the SkillingUp program continues to be instrumental in reshaping inclusive hiring practices in Canada. This innovative digital learning initiative equips neurodiverse individuals and those with disabilities with highly sought-after digital and AI skills, significantly improving their job placement prospects.
With Microsoft's backing, thousands of Canadians living with disabilities will receive training and certification through SkillingUp, paving the way for employment opportunities in today's competitive job market. Microsoft's commitment ensures that technology is a force for positive change, driving the creation of an inclusive and accessible digital economy that benefits all.
