The skilling initiatives will be implemented in partnership with governments, nonprofit and corporate organizations, and communities across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s commitment aligns with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/asean.org\/book\/asean-digital-masterplan-2025\/\"><em>ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;to build an AI-ready talent pool in the region. It is also part of the company\u2019s broader goal to empower individuals, organizations, and communities in ASEAN countries to harness the potential of AI to drive innovation and economic growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr Piti Srisangnam<\/strong>, executive director of\u00a0the ASEAN Foundation, said:\u00a0\u201cWe appreciate Microsoft\u2019s commitment to upskilling ASEAN youth in AI, a pivotal step aligning with the ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025. By fostering a sustainable digital talent ecosystem, it will contribute significantly to our regional development.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s skilling commitment will focus on four areas: building an inclusive, AI-ready workforce; bridging the cybersecurity talent gap; enhancing developers\u2019 AI skills; and empowering nonprofit organizations to maximize their social impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These initiatives will build on Microsoft\u2019s long history of helping to close the digital skills gap in ASEAN countries. Over the past two years, around 1.7 million people have participated in its Skills4Jobs program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s truly exciting is the innovation mindset already prevalent in ASEAN. \u202fInvesting in AI skills is investing in a future where economic growth is inclusive, giving every person a chance to contribute and benefit. With a robust pool of talent skilled in disruptive technologies, ASEAN is well positioned for the global tech race,\u201d said <strong>Andrea Della Mattea<\/strong>, president of ASEAN at Microsoft.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building an inclusive, AI-ready workforce\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The digital age demands skilled workers,&nbsp;and vocational institutes will be critical in providing practical training for industry-aligned needs and roles.
