First capital deployment in the U.S. of the
nonprofit to fund English-language learning program in partnership
with Project Rousseau
Foundever™, a global leader in the customer experience (CX)
industry, today announced the official launch of its private
operating foundation and 501(c)3, Foundever.org, with its most
recent partnership with New York-based Project Rousseau. Committed
to upskilling talent from distressed communities, the nonprofit is
collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders, including NGOs,
governments and businesses, to ensure equal opportunities for
individuals across the globe through adult education,
skill-building and job market access.
With its first capital deployment, the nonprofit established by
the global CX leader Foundever has partnered with Project Rousseau,
a nonprofit organization that matches college students one-to-one
with high school students who are in the same stages of their
respective educations to provide English-language learning
instruction, tuition and education services for New York City
immigrants, specifically young adults. The project will build on
Foundever.org’s commitment to develop and leverage education
programs that benefit untapped talent in deprived communities
around the world, equipping individuals with skills that open doors
to diverse job markets beyond the CX industry.
"Foundever.org was created to open pathways to success for
individuals in underserved communities, and our collaboration with
Project Rousseau to launch an English-language learning program for
young adults in New York is a significant step,” said Najet
Tenoutit, Managing Director of Foundever.org. “This initiative is
rooted in our commitment to equip future candidates with job-ready
skills through innovative, tailored education. The #CXforGood
movement aims to drive social and economic progress by empowering
individuals to secure employment, and we look forward to making a
difference in communities around the globe.”
Additional Foundever.org programs
Earlier this quarter, Foundever joined Tent U.S., a coalition of
over 200 companies that are committed to helping refugees access
the U.S. labor market by preparing them for jobs or employing them.
This new grant program will support a commitment through Tent U.S.
to hire 500 refugees over the next three years in the U.S.
In addition to its new partnership with Tent, in January 2024,
Foundever.org launched a partnership with the Global Mentorship
Initiative (GMI) and Orange, one of the world’s leading
telecommunications operators, on a student mentoring program
leveraging Foundever employees mentoring students at the end of
their study program, within the French-speaking market. GMI
provides structured content for the 12-week career readiness
mentorship program, through a digital platform, to support mentors
in helping students launch their careers. As the first program
launched and funded by Foundever.org, the nonprofit aims to mentor
100 students in 2024 through various exchange sessions, guides and
educational tools. This voluntary program matches up students at
the end of their studies with an employee of Foundever within the
French-speaking market (France, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Senegal and
soon Madagascar).
In March 2024, Foundever.org also partnered with Carerha, an
Egypt-based EdTech female-focused platform that empowers women
economically and fosters an inclusive workplace. This particular
initiative, which launched on International Women’s Day (March 8),
is focused on providing 100 women in Egypt, facing economic
hardship, with a comprehensive career readiness, language
upskilling, and technical knowledge training program. The primary
aim of this initiative is to establish a new job market segment
that will empower these women to become financially
independent.
Additionally, in March 2024, Foundever.org partnered with and
invested in U-Go, a registered charity that helps ambitious and
promising young women in low-income countries pursue tertiary
education by providing financial scholarships funded by individuals
and corporations worldwide. With its grant funds from
Foundever.org, U-Go will help young Filipino women from low-income
areas pursue higher education.
