What We Do
WHAT WE DO
The Avasant Foundation advances equitable access to opportunity by empowering underserved youth, women, and vulnerable communities across the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Guided by Avasant’s global expertise in digital transformation, we deliver programs that build future-ready skills, create pathways to sustainable employment, and strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems. Our mission is rooted in the belief that when individuals are equipped to participate in the digital economy, they uplift not only themselves but their families and communities as well.
Education
We provide high-impact digital skills training that prepares learners to thrive in a technology-driven world. Our programs focus on practical, industry-relevant competencies—including data analytics, AI/ML, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and project management—and are designed in collaboration with employers and academic partners. By expanding access to quality digital education across the regions we serve, we help bridge the opportunity gap and enable individuals to confidently enter the global services sector.
“The program was extended to so many people who might not have ordinarily had access to digital literacy education. The Avasant program provided a highly empowering experience as it created opportunities that were previously inaccessible to the graduates.
Hon. Glenys Hanna-Martin – Minister of Education and Technical and Vocational Training, The Bahamas
Employment
Employment is central to how we measure success. Through strategic partnerships with global employers, industry associations, and government entities, we facilitate job placements for our graduates in ICT, BPO, and digital services. Our programs consistently deliver high employment outcomes, demonstrating the effectiveness of training that aligns with real market needs. By promoting impact sourcing and inclusive hiring practices, we help create sustainable career pathways that drive long-term socioeconomic mobility.
“Our collaboration with the Avasant Foundation has provided trainees with the skills that are both relevant and essential for evolving The Bahamian workforce.
The university is deeply proud to be a part of this endeavor. This partnership is more than a training program. It is a commitment to preparing youth for a better life in a global society.”
Dr. Maria Oriahki – Vice President For Academic Affairs, University of The Bahamas
Entrepreneurship
We support emerging and existing entrepreneurs by providing the digital capabilities, business skills, and mentorship needed to build resilient and competitive enterprises. Our training strengthens digital literacy, enhances online visibility, and equips entrepreneurs to leverage technology for growth. By empowering small businesses—particularly within underserved communities—we contribute to job creation, economic diversification, and stronger local ecosystems.
