DXC and West Ham United Foundation Partner to Open Digital Career Pathways for Young Londoners

The four-year Digital Futures Academy, which will be delivered at the Foundation's community hub, The Foundry, in Beckton, London, is designed for young people aged 12 to 16 and combines technology education, professional development, career awareness and personal growth. Students participate in workshops covering areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, virtual reality, automation, data analytics, communication skills, leadership development and career planning. The program is underpinned by DXC's commitment to social mobility and creating pathways into the technology sector for young people who may not otherwise have access to such opportunities.

The academy forms part of DXC Technology's broader Responsible Business strategy, supporting social mobility, community engagement and the development of future skills. With 6,000 technology professionals across the UK and Ireland, including teams in London, Newcastle, Erskine, Tewkesbury and Farnborough, DXC is investing in the talent and skills that will shape the future of the technology industry. Through collaboration with schools, charities, community organizations and employee volunteers, the company aims to create long-term positive outcomes for young people, local communities and the wider technology industry.
