Empowering the workforce of tomorrow
Michele Malejki, Global Head of Social Impact at HP Inc. and Director of the HP Foundation, emphasized that the future of work depends on equal access to technology, digital skills, and opportunities. By investing in these organizations, Malejki is optimistic that the program will expand digital access and empower the workforce of tomorrow.
“Through the Digital Equity Accelerator, HP empowers nonprofits to bridge the digital divide, ensuring that digitally disconnected youth and adults have the devices and training they need to thrive in an increasingly tech-driven workforce,” Malejki said in a written statement.
Juliana Chen, Managing Director of HP Indonesia, expressed pride in partnering with Yayasan Muda Berdaya Berdikari (Solve Education Foundation) and Markoding (Yayasan Daya Kreasi Anak Bangsa).

We aim to empower digitally excluded communities by providing access to essential digital learning platforms and driving positive social change.”
The accelerator program helps nonprofits expand digital equity initiatives for digitally disconnected youth and adults, preparing them for the future of work. Since 2022, the program has supported 27 nonprofits across South Africa, Brazil, India, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, and the U.S., reaching over 9 million people.
