OpenBeauchef, the innovation center of the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Chile, opened applications for "OpenSeniors: Training for the Elderly," an initiative that for the second consecutive year was awarded the 55+ Fund from Entel.
The project aims to reduce the digital divide and promote autonomy and inclusion of people over 55 to 70 years old throughout the country. For this first stage, 350 spots were opened for training in digital tools, productivity, and artificial intelligence through a proprietary virtual platform.
"In this second version of the 55+ Fund, we promote initiatives that share the goal of reducing the digital divide and opening new opportunities for this segment. Our goal is not just to connect people to a network, but to ensure that this connection generates opportunities, participation, and real inclusion for everyone,"
Stefanie Pope, Environment and Sustainability Manager at Entel
