Future Ready ASEAN is an online platform developed in partnership between the ASEAN Foundation and Microsoft, as part of the ASEAN Digital Innovation program. Launched in March 2019, this program aims to train 520 teachers and 46,000 underserved youth aged 15 to 35 on digital skills, in particular, computer science education, to enable them to thrive in the fourth industrial revolution. The training will leverage the Future Ready ASEAN platform and be conducted by Empire Code as master trainer in seven ASEAN countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam).
Future Ready ASEAN is structured along four learning tracks that lead to a total of 12 completion badges.
At the end of each level of each track, you can download a completion badge. You may then share the badge on your LinkedIn profile, by uploading it as "Media" in the Introduction section. The image of your badge will appear under your Summary.
Once the advanced level has been achieved for a given track, students are invited to pursue additional online courses leading to Microsoft's industry-recognised certifications.
Why Digital Skill?
From basic digital literacy to advanced computer science, digital skills are often out of reach for the young people who need them most. In a world being transformed by technology, all youth should have the opportunity to develop the creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills gained by learning digital skills.
FACTS!
1. 65% of children in primary school today will end up working in a job which does not exist yet.
2. Computer science graduates can earn up to 40% more than the average college graduate.
3. Only 24% of computer science undergraduates in Asia are women.
4. 58% of all new jobs in STEM are in computing
