TOMORROW’S WORKFORCE

We are supporting people where we live and work — as well as further afield. Our focus is on advancing Tomorrow’s Workforce, equipping young people with the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education they need to thrive in the industries of the future.

Together with variety of NGOs across our footprint, we are opening doors for the next generation of innovators by creating exciting ways for young people to acquire the skills and resources they need to succeed in the digital economy, while also creating a positive social impact.

 

Our program partners

Inclusive Connectivity

We are committed to enhancing digital equity for our communities and wider society – by providing access to next-generation connectivity and refurbished devices, affordable options for communities that are at risk of digital exclusion.

Through our operations, we are delivering a number of initiatives to improve digital equity, by providing access to the internet for vulnerable families within our footprint or making our products and services accessible to those less able.

PARTNERSHIP WITH STREET CHILD

At Liberty Global, we want to impact communities globally and focus on the world of tomorrow. Our decade long partnership with Street Child helps us to prioritise children in the most marginalized populations we will contribute to a better tomorrow – more prosperous and more inclusive.

Street Child believes that every child deserves to be safe, in school, and learning, even and especially, in low resource environments and emergencies. Today Street Child works across more than 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Europe and are experts in education, economic empowerment, and protection programming.

Each year, we partner with Street Child to host our flagship fundraising event, the Big Ride. During 2024, the event was hosted in Belgium and brought together a record-breaking 819 participants – far surpassing the
650 in 2023. The event raised over $2 million through donations from Liberty Global as well as our broader partner network.

VOLUNTEERING

Through volunteering, we deepen our connection with communities and gain a better understanding of the issues affecting people around us. Bringing new experiences and perspectives back to work with us strengthens our culture and elevates our shared purpose. We provide multiple pathways for our people to volunteer:

  • Volunteer time off: Our Liberty Global employees receive up to 24 hours of paid leave a year to support causes that matter to them. Similar programmes have been implemented across our broader organization. For instance, Virgin Media O2 JV’s Take Five programme grants employees five days of paid time to engage in volunteering.
  • Company-organized volunteering: Through community partnerships with non-profit organizations, we facilitate opportunities for Liberty Global teams and individuals to engage in volunteer initiatives addressing the most critical needs identified by our trusted partners. In 2024, we contributed nearly 11,000 hours of volunteering towards community causes.
