In order to introduce its Springboard digital learning platform in the area and make it accessible to Sandwell residents, colleges, and schools, Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced a partnership with Sandwell Council.
The main digital learning platform of Infosys, Springboard, aims to equip individuals, groups, and society with the knowledge and abilities necessary for success in the twenty-first century. The platform is run by a team of specialists through partnerships with curriculum partners, non-profits, and a worldwide network of top educational institutions. It offers content encompassing digital learning, emerging technologies, and life skills.
Infosys Springboard will empower people, communities, and companies by assisting Sandwell citizens in developing new skills and improving employability. It specifically attempts to:
be made freely accessible to everyone to promote universal digital literacy and guarantee that no one is left behind.
Support communities that are actively using technology, and make gadgets and digital assets accessible to those who cannot afford them.
Assist small and medium-sized businesses improve their services through digital initiatives, or assist entrepreneurs in realising their ideas.
The work Infosys has done with local councils in the UK is built upon by this programme. In 2021, Infosys and Brent Council—which had seen the number of unemployed claims in Brent between the ages of 18 and 49 triple during the pandemic—deployed Springboard. Almost 48,000 people from Brent have registered and are using Infosys Springboard as of right now.
Councillor Simon Hackett, Cabinet Member for Children and Education, Sandwell Council, said: "Springboard is a fantastic opportunity for Sandwell residents. The opportunity to work alongside a multi-national organisation like Infosys, will equip our enterprises such as, schools, colleges and training providers with the tools needed to increase digital accessibility and help achieve higher aspirations. It will also enable our residents to access a wealth of opportunities for future careers and gain greater prosperity for Sandwell."
Thirumala Arohi, Senior Vice President and Head – Education, Training and Assessment, Infosys, said: "Upskilling and reskilling is part of our DNA at Infosys, and we couldn't be happier to be collaborating with Sandwell Council on this important project. Ensuring equitable access to digital education is central to achieving a digitally engaged community and I certainly look forward to seeing what residents go on to achieve as a result."
