50%-100% of workers will have to retrain by 2023, today there is already a high deficit of human capital trained in new technologies. It is estimated that by 2030, 38% of the roles we know will disappear, but 51% of new roles, for which there are not yet trained personnel, will appear. On the other hand, work, vocation and uncertainty problems are some of the main reasons that affect mental health today. The WHO places Chile among the countries with the highest presence of mental health illnesses (23.2%), and 1 in 5 people would be affected each year; causing 1 in 4 to consider quitting their job due to its impact on their mental well-being. Also, over 50% of the workforce today is Millennial and Centennial. Millennials last at prom. 5 years in a job and Centennials only 8 months, they rotate looking for new learning, benefits and flexibility. One of the best strategies, according to Deloitte and the Boston Consulting Group, to attract and retain Millennial and Centennial talent is to provide more training, development opportunities and benefits to employees.

So, if we build our teams and train them in the tools of the future, their skills and therefore those of the company will not become obsolete. And if we take into account the well-being, mental and physical health of our collaborators, we will be able to have motivated teams, and we will better retain our talent.

What we at Activate Class, a startup supported by Corfo Chile, offer our institutional clients is an innovative platform where their collaborators can find live and recorded training, workshops and classes totally free for them, around two categories:

What are Crece and Bienestar, in Crece you will find courses aimed at providing the tools and skills of the future, to enhance your professional careers and grow within your areas of interest. On the other hand, in Well-being they will be able to take a break from their routine, with workshops on mindfulness, yoga, fitness and more, which will help them enhance their mental and physical health.

Additionally, for each course successfully completed, a fund is contributed to a cause selected by each collaborator (which can be poverty, SENAME, environment, among others). In this way, by Growing and improving their Well-being, users are contributing to others.

The courses are conducted by expert teachers, with real-life experience, and they receive a royalty per class taken. Classes are live and recorded in short modules that can be listened to and viewed at any time.

The platform is free for its users, B2B customers buy individual subscriptions with access to all courses. At the end of the month we deliver a report with a summary of the activity that collaborators have had with the platform. Measuring their levels of achievement, progress, courses of greatest interest, among others. In addition, institutions can donate scholarships to vulnerable groups.

In addition to soft skills such as Innovation, Leadership, Adaptation to change, Negotiation and more. And in the category, Wellness: Mindfulness, nutrition, dance, pilates and more.

In this way, our platform seeks connects 3 worlds: companies, academia and foundations.
