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

MIAMI, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today at the F1 Miami Grand Prix circuit, Sir Lewis Hamilton’s global foundation Mission 44 and HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) 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.

“The partnership between HP and Mission 44 harnesses the unique strength and influence of our organizations. HP’s ability to shape the future of work through technology, combined with Mission 44’s drive for impactful change, makes this collaboration truly powerful,” said Michele Malejki, Global Head of Social Impact at HP Inc. and Executive Director of the HP Foundation. “Together, we are fuelling access to essential skills and technology, equipping disconnected adolescents and adults to participate and thrive in the digital economy, and we are excited to bring this program to more people globally. Through a new HP Future of Work Skills Hub and support for local NGOs and educators, we are empowering the next generation with the tools they need to succeed.”

“At Mission 44, we strongly believe in the power of collaboration, and our partnership with HP is the perfect example,” said Jason Arthur, CEO of Mission 44. “By bringing together a global tech leader and local non-profits, we know we can make a meaningful impact for young people, raising aspirations and achievement, and enabling access to exciting careers in STEM.”

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.

Empowering Learners and Educators in Miami and Beyond

In conjunction with the partnership announcement, HP has launched the new online Future of Work Skills Hub, designed to equip learners and educators across the globe with the tools needed to thrive in an ever-evolving digital world. The online portal offers a variety of skills courses, including AI and data science as well as business leadership. Additionally, it provides resources to assist educators in understanding and utilizing generative AI in education.

Furthering their commitment to empowering young people, HP, Mission 44, Miami EdTEch and America on Tech have established the first on the ground Future of Work Hubs. These physical hubs in Miami combine lasting access to HP technology with long-term learning support for young people in those communities.

“Technology is at the heart of our mission to empower underrepresented young people,” said Carlos Vazquez, Founder of Miami EdTech. “Thanks to HP and Mission 44, and the creation of our new hub, we now have more tech to teach with, giving our students the skills they need to succeed in STEM.”

“We are proud to partner with Mission 44 and HP to help shape a meaningful tech education ecosystem in Miami. Together, we are investing in the brilliance and potential of young people—ensuring they have access to the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive in the innovation economy,” said Jessica Santana, Chief Executive Officer, America on Tech. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to closing the digital divide and creating pathways that empower the next generation of tech leaders.”
