BingoPlus Foundation, the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive Corp., has partnered with Edukasyon.ph to broaden its flagship FutureSmart Program. The collaboration aims to strengthen the link between technology education and employment opportunities for Filipinos.
A ceremonial memorandum of agreement (MOA) was signed on May 26, 2025, at AWS Philippines in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
Under the partnership, DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation will provide P2 million in financial support. This will enable 50 scholars to complete the AWS re/Start program, a 12-week workforce development training designed to prepare individuals for careers in cloud computing.
Edukasyon.ph will offer job placement support to ensure graduates secure employment within three months of completing the program. The partnership will connect these scholars and other AWS-certified professionals nationwide with career opportunities within DigiPlus and its network of tech industry partners.
It aligns with DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation’s mission to equip Filipinos with the necessary tools to thrive in the digital economy. It also reinforces the FutureSmart Program, which has already positively impacted over 5,000 students and teachers through scholarships, technology training, learning center donations, and employment pathways.
Earlier this year, the FutureSmart Program received a Gold Stevie Award for Excellence in Social Impact at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards in Seoul, South Korea. The award recognized the program’s success in driving measurable change and highlighted the importance of strategic partnerships in scaling its impact.
“Winning the Gold Stevie Award is not just a recognition of our past efforts, but a push to do more, go further, and reach higher,” said Angela Camins-Wieneke, executive director of BingoPlus Foundation.
“FutureSmart is our way of turning education into a real, life-changing impact. With Edukasyon.ph and Amazon Web Services as partners, we are confident we can take even more learners from classroom to career,” she said.
DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation cited their commitment to investing in future-ready education and inclusive employment pathways as the demand for digital skills continues to grow. Through FutureSmart, the foundation said it aims to shape a workforce that is skilled and empowered to lead the country’s digital future.
