Collaboration between a leading global company in hybrid cloud and AI services and the largest youth employment NGO in Latin America aims to expand access for young Brazilians to knowledge about AI and emerging technologies.
A new training opportunity is available for young people across the country. IBM, in collaboration with... Business-School Integration Center (CIEE) is offering free online courses with certification, focused on developing practical skills in AI and other emerging technologies. The initiative aims to support students who wish to prepare for the job market with up-to-date and practical content.
In total, the collaboration brings together six mini-courses on the IBM SkillsBuild platform, highlighting how AI is already shaping work, industry, and daily life, and helping students understand where new career opportunities are emerging. These courses use real-world examples to make AI concepts accessible and engaging for students. Topics include:
● The use of technology in concerts, including an example from Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour" (15 minutes);
● How AI is used in football (20 minutes);
● How AI is used in Formula 1, with examples from the partnership between IBM and Scuderia Ferrari (10 minutes);
● Technological innovations in tennis tournaments (15 minutes);
