THE Embassy of Australia recently announced two new business partnerships in the Philippines under its Business Partnerships Platform (BPP), which supports direct links between the Australian government and businesses to promote inclusive recovery from the pandemic, while also providing sustainable commercial returns.
“By partnering with businesses, the Australian government can help provide vital work and income opportunities that will foster…inclusive economic recovery of the Philippines and the Indo-Pacific region,” said Ambassador Steven J. Robinson AO. The two new business partnerships are:
Data upskilling for freelance workers: A partnership with leading online data upskilling firm Eskwelabs and the largest entrepreneurship and freelancing network for stay-at-home mothers in the country FHMoms, it aims to provide women-freelance workers who have been impacted by the health crisis, with skills needed for high-value digital work opportunities that are increasingly in demand in the modern economy.
Digital mental health services: A partnership with Mind You Mental Health, a mental health technology company providing mental health services to staff of large companies in the Philippines, which aims to significantly increase availability of psychological services in the country to better support Filipinos who are suffering from mental illnesses.
According to the embassy, the BPP reflects the importance of the private sector in pandemic recovery. For more information, visit www.thebpp.com.au, and follow its Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram as well as YouTube accounts.
