IBM has launched the second phase of its free learning initiative, IBM SkillsBuild, focusing on climate action, sustainability, and digital career readiness. The program aims to equip young people with practical, future-ready knowledge to tackle global environmental challenges and strengthen their career prospects.
“If you are passionate about climate action, sustainability, or building skills that matter globally, this is your chance,” the organizers said. They emphasized that climate change and sustainability are no longer optional topics but essential skills shaping careers, policies, and communities worldwide.
The IBM SkillsBuild Phase 2 program offers participants a 100 percent free and self-paced online training experience. Learners will earn a globally recognized IBM SkillsBuild certificate upon completion.
The initiative is implemented by Young Advocate for a Sustainable & Inclusive Future (YASIF) in partnership with the International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) and IBM SkillsBuild. Organizers said the partnership ensures global standards, high-quality learning, and measurable impact.
According to the team, the program includes mentorship on CV development, employability skills, and access to post-training career pathways. “The Skills Build Program provides practical, in-demand training to help participants boost employability, grow their careers, and prepare for real-world opportunities,” the statement added.
