Aboitiz Land, the real estate arm of the Aboitiz Group, joins hands with the Aboitiz Foundation in teaming up with Connected Women to train and support marginalized and disadvantaged Filipino women in Artificial Intelligence and Data Innovation (AIDA) skills.
The initiative aims to expand Filipino women’s skills and create for them potential income opportunities. Connected Women will offer training and mentorship programs to beneficiaries through their award-winning Elevate AIDA program. This will open new job opportunities and provide them with the skills and knowledge to succeed.
The partnership is a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and diverse workforce in the Philippines, while also promoting gender equality and empowering women.

They have been making significant strides in empowering women in the Philippines through training in technology skills and upskilling for the global Artificial Intelligence industry.
