The platform provides free career counseling tools and teacher training. The Foundation also offers grants of up to $1 million annually to organizations, supporting sustainable job creation and workforce upskilling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A survey recently conducted by the Foundation revealed that only 10% of K-12 graduates immediately enter the job market. While 83% pursue university education, only 25% of these university enrollees graduate from higher education institutions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The survey further showed that the remaining 75% who leave university without completing their degrees eventually join the workforce. Meanwhile, 1.5% of the graduates venture into entrepreneurship, while 5.5% fall into the category of \u201cNot in Education, Employment, or Training.\u201d These factors contribute to job instability and low wages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cOur free AI-powered platform provides access to in-demand job skills that address the gaps in the school-to-work journey of K-12 students in the Philippines,\u201d said Dr. Ajay Kela, president & CEO of Wadhwani Foundation. \u201cWe are excited to collaborate in the Philippines to leverage AI-driven solutions that empower students, improve public services, and generate jobs.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Foundation currently collaborates with over 60 partners across the Philippines, reaching 22,000 students through AI Co-Pilots. It helps students build in-demand job skills and make informed career choices, while also providing training for educators to deliver AI-driven career counseling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
