🚀 I'm delighted to share news about AWS Career Launchpad with Trainocate and IMDA, a timely initiative to address the growing demand for AI talent in Singapore 🇸🇬 , launched at the SCS Tech3 Forum today! This new program directly addresses this challenge by creating a structured 6-12 month pathway for aspiring cloud professionals with a strong focus on GenAI capabilities. The Career Launchpad will train up to 100 individuals through 2027, equipping them with AWS certifications and connecting them with job opportunities through our AWS Partner Network companies like TOPPAN Ecquaria and AiRTS. What makes this program special is its inclusive approach – encouraging participation from fresh graduates, mid-career professionals, and women in tech.    This achievement is part of a broader global commitment that we've delivered on ahead of schedule – training over 31 million people worldwide in cloud skills, exceeding our 2020 pledge of 29 million by 2025. #AWS #CareerLaunchpad #Trainocate #GenAI #CloudSkills #AISkills April Li Valerie Leong Richard Goh Binny Peh 白汇彬 Jeff Johnson Jenan Yeap Kim Yiau Yap May Peng Wong Jia Ming Lee John Fan AUMAPORN ARMRADIST Dawn Chin Nicole Lim Sandra Teh Jeffrey Kratz Durga Prasad Kakaraparthi Eugene Neubronner Shufen Hong Gary Seet John Sleijpen

Nearly 75% of Microsoft’s Scope 3 emissions come from purchased goods and services (things like raw materials, office supplies) and capital goods (these include buildings, vehicles). This is an important reminder that our suppliers play a pivotal role in helping us reach our goal of carbon negative by 2030. In May, we hosted a Global Supplier Sustainability Summit, bringing together suppliers from around the world to share best practices and learn from each other. This event was a great opportunity for us to strengthen collaboration and accelerate progress. As I told them at the meeting, the consequences of doing nothing, or doing too little too late, are unforgiving. That’s why we’re supporting, through our Climate Innovation Fund, the development and deployment of carbon reduction and removal technologies that can help us—and our partners—achieve ambitious sustainability goals. We're also working to improve the accuracy and accountability of our emissions reporting. Today, 70% of Microsoft's product carbon footprints are calculated using primary data provided directly by suppliers, well above the industry average of 20%. This enables our sustainability teams at Microsoft to spend less time on manual data processing and more time identifying opportunities to increase efficiency and clean energy access across our supply chain. We're making progress, but we know there's still more work to be done. We remain committed to reducing our environmental impact and empowering our suppliers to do the same. https://msft.it/6040sDiYQ
