The AsiaPacificBrokerage Services Foundation is working to unlock the potential of online work for disadvantaged youth in Asia. Today the internet offers millions of job opportunities to a global distributed workforce.
PRLog - Nov. 5, 2014 - MONGKOK, Hong Kong -- The online work sector has experienced phenomenal growth over the past several years and by one estimate could reach $16 billion by 2020 and by another estimate expand to $46 billion. Much of this growth will come from closing skills gaps by making it easier for people to find each other and work together. There are more than 4 billion people in Asia, many of whom reside in areas traditionally difficult for top global employers to access, yet highly motivated to earn an income.
The Asia Pacific Brokerage Foundation will collaborate on outreach efforts to help drive an increase in the number of high potential but disadvantaged youth in Asia who can access online jobs. This will advance the goals of the Foundation’s Digital Jobs Asia Initiative. The initiative is a $1 million initiative aimed at connecting high potential but disadvantaged youth to jobs in the digital economy.
"The Asia-Pacific-Brokerage.com Services Foundation is thrilled to ensure that more youth in Asia acquire relevant skills and sustainable jobs in this connected era. We will work together to ensure that young people on the continent are aware of the opportunity presented by online work and develop the skills to successfully access online jobs for income generation, skills development and increased digital work experience," said Jing Chiang, Managing Director of the Asia Pacific Brokerage Services Foundation’s Asia Regional Office.
