Selected organisations will be trained by AVPN's strategic partners, including organisations such as Seoul National University, KORIKA, AI Singapore, AI Education (Vietnam), and Wadhwani AI. These firms will then directly reach and train various groups of workers, including migrant workers, informal workers, women and gender minorities, and persons with disabilities.
A Singapore-based firm will train migrant domestic workers and construction workers, equipping them with artificial intelligence (AI) skills in preparation for related jobs when they return to their home countries. With support from social investor network AVPN, Google.org and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), TagTeam is among the 49 beneficiaries of the US$15 million ($19.47 million) AI Opportunity Fund: Asia Pacific, a three-year programme announced in May 2024.
These firms will receive financial support and expert guidance to address the unique challenges faced by workers in the AI work era, say the three parties in a May 5 announcement.
