In collaboration with the IBM SkillsBuild team, Mission 44 will host multiple activations at F1 race events each year, delivering immersive, hands-on learning opportunities to help students develop skills needed for future-looking jobs within F1 international geographies. The collaboration will support Mission 44's strategy to increase inclusivity in STEM and create pathways for young people in tech. Beyond race weekends, Mission 44 will work with IBM to develop F1-themed content for year-round use in the IBM SkillsBuild program and expand high-quality education through Mission 44's global partner network, fostering deeper engagement to scale impact.
"We're investing in the technical skills that will shape future workforces, fuel open innovation and drive economic growth," said Justina Nixon-Saintil, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility and Chief Impact Officer, IBM.
