Grab Philippines said Wednesday it teamed up with Microsoft Philippines to provide driver- and delivery-partners across the country free and equitable access to new learning and development opportunities to help them become more competitive in the digital-first economy.
The GrabAcademy is introducing new learning and development courses for driver- and delivery-partners across three pillars—safety across the platform, growing within the platform and thriving beyond the platform—in addition to courses on topics such as taxation and vehicle sanitation which also migrated online.
“Building digital skills and literacy is critical for us at Microsoft, especially today. COVID-19 has made digital transformation critical, and accelerated a global wave of technology adoption. But embracing digital opportunities requires having the necessary digital skills. This means empowering learning, supporting public policies for reskilling and encouraging continuous improvements,” said Andres Ortola, country manager of Microsoft Philippines.
