I think it's one of the few companies that cares about its employees and this is the reason that I mention it in my post today.
Verizon has 135,000 employees and will not lay off any of them. It also announced that it will retrain its 20,000 employees to start a new career.
Verizon intends to prepare 500,000 mostly low-paid employees by 2030 for future jobs, with the help of new training tools.
Although most partners reduce their costs, Verizon, for its part, has chosen to focus on in-service retraining.
The purpose of Verizon launching such an expensive project is to teach the most vulnerable employees - especially those whose jobs are at stake due to automation - digital skills and knowledge to meet the needs of the economy.
Verizon will focus on low-wage employees, including those working in factories, restaurants or as drivers. In fact, it will focus on young people, blacks and Hispanics who have not attended university.
Verizon is creating a platform that will provide digital education for parents, distance education for teachers and technology training. The program also aims to enable 10 million children to access digital education by 2030
