Tech Your Future

WORK LEARN INNOVATE

“TechYourFuture” is for young people who have a passion for technology but no IT degree. An initiative powered by Microsoft, that gives them the opportunity to acquire cutting-edge digital skills by combining education with paid work in large companies.

Eurobank and PwC are the first organisations to adopt “TechYourFuture” and to actively support digital empowerment for the next generation.

What is the “TechYourFuture” initiative?

The modern labor market is transforming at the same pace as technology itself is evolving and developing. Young people at the beginning of their careers realize that they have a growing need for digital technology skills not only to meet the demands of their jobs, but to achieve more and grow professionally.

To empower the next generation with modern digital skills and support young people with equal opportunities for work and career development, Microsoft is creating the “TechYourFuture” initiative.

The Initiative offers training and learning of digital skills and tools with parallel work, in technology positions, alongside professionals. Participants in the program have the opportunity to specialize in a range of new digital subjects and tools while being paid, being part of the workforce of the companies that actively support the initiative.
