Converge to mold a 'future-ready' workforce to propel techco direction

CONVERGE ICT Solutions Inc., a leading fiber broadband and technology provider, recently hosted a five-day technology exhibit at its Pasig headquarters, showcasing the advanced technologies behind its world-class network.

The exhibit, part of Converge's yearlong program to shift employee mindsets in the digital age, featured tech solutions from its partners. It aimed to educate employees, especially non-technical staff, on emerging technologies transforming industries globally.

This event underscores Converge's ambition to evolve into a Filipino technology powerhouse. "We need to build a pool of professionals with the skills and passion to navigate future challenges," said Converge CEO and co-founder Dennis Anthony Uy. "While we have a strong foundation as a fiber broadband leader, we must upskill our people to compete with global tech providers."

In July 2024, Converge launched the Competenshift campaign, a program designed to align employees' skillsets with the company's goal of offering solutions beyond internet connectivity. It includes webinars, workshops, and training on topics such as network architecture, AI, cybersecurity, IoT, and blockchain.

Converge also provides employees access to learning platforms like LinkedIn Learning and requires a minimum of 40 learning hours annually.

Uy emphasized the urgency of equipping employees with future-ready skills: "This doesn't happen overnight, but it's essential for staying ahead in the fast-evolving tech landscape."
