DigiPlus Interactive Corp., through its social development arm BingoPlus Foundation, pledged P2 million to support 50 technology scholars under the flagship FutureSmart Program.
The investment comes with a new partnership with Edukasyon.ph to bridge technology education and real-world careers for Filipinos.
Participants will gain knowledge in Amazon Web Services (AWS), earn certifications and open doors to career opportunities in cloud technology. The program aims to be a stepping stone for those aspiring to become cloud engineers, IT specialists or digital entrepreneurs.
Selected scholars will complete the AWS re/Start program—a 12-week workforce development training preparing learners for entry-level cloud careers. After training, Edukasyon.ph will provide job placement support to help graduates secure employment within three months, with opportunities available within DigiPlus and its extensive network of tech industry partners.
The initiative aligns with DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation’s mission to increase opportunities for Filipinos to thrive in the digital economy.
The FutureSmart program has already impacted over 5,000 students and teachers nationwide through scholarships, technology training, learning center donations and job pathways.
Earlier this year, FutureSmart received a Gold Stevie Award for Excellence in Social Impact at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards in Seoul, recognizing the program’s tangible impact and the value of strategic partnerships in expanding access to technology education across the Philippines.
DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation said they remain committed to investing in future-ready education and inclusive employment opportunities. Through FutureSmart, the foundation aims to build a workforce that is not only skilled but empowered to help shape the country’s digital future.
BingoPlus Foundation and Edukasyon.ph said they are now accepting applications for the AWS Cloud Skills Training Program.
