Lewis Hamilton Foundation Mission 44 and HP Inc. Join Forces to Drive STEM Skills and Future of Work Readiness for Young People

Today at the F1 Miami Grand Prix circuit, Sir Lewis Hamilton’s global foundation Mission 44 and HP Inc. announced a multi-year partnership to fuel access to technology and skills needed to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 
 
This collaboration unites Mission 44’s drive for greater inclusivity in STEM with HP’s ambition to accelerate digital equity for 150 million people globally by 2030, equipping disconnected adolescents and adults with the critical skills needed to thrive in the future of work.
 
Through targeted initiatives in Miami and then expanding to the UK, the partnership will provide the technology, training, digital skills, and mentorship young people need to unlock opportunities to participate in the digital economy.
 
Mission 44 and HP will first support two Miami-based tech hubs. America on Tech, an early pipeline tech talent accelerator that creates career pathways for young people and Miami EdTech, which aims to provide workforce development through computer science and digital skilling.
 
Later this year, HP and Mission 44 will expand their collaboration to support schools and educators in the UK to increase learning access to equip young people for tomorrow’s workforce.
  
To kick off the partnership, the two organizations invited a group of young people from the Miami area to the Grand Prix circuit to meet Lewis Hamilton, whose personal experiences of education and motorsport have left him determined to build a more inclusive future. The group was given an exclusive tour of the Scuderia Ferrari HP Team garage and F1 paddock and participated in talks with industry insiders on the opportunities and skills required for careers in STEM related industries.
