Verizon to host graduation ceremony for small businesses, discuss AI at event in Philly
2024年7月15日 - 9:00PM
On Tuesday, July 16th, Verizon will celebrate the completion of a
six-month program designed to support small businesses with a
graduation ceremony in store, as well as a final session on both
opportunities and challenges faced by small businesses in adapting
to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
From 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. July 16th, at
Verizon's 1430 Walnut Street store in Philadelphia, small business
owners will celebrate the completion of a six-month training
program designed to teach participants how to leverage technology
and close the capacity and efficiency gap. This program was
established through a $50,000 investment from Verizon to the
African-American Chamber of Commerce of PA, NJ & DE (AACC) and
the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GPHCC) in
Philadelphia. The partnership was part of the Verizon Forward
Community Enhancement Award, a $1M national initiative equipping
communities with the tools to navigate an increasingly
technological world.
“At Verizon, we are dedicated to supporting diverse
small businesses through technology and training,” said Adriana
Dawson, Director of Community Engagement for Verizon. “The
collaboration between the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce and the African-American Chamber of Commerce underscores
our commitment to digital inclusion and ensuring small businesses,
the backbone of the Philadelphia economy, have the resources needed
to succeed.”
“Completing our Verizon Tech Empowerment Series
marks a significant milestone for our community,” said Regina
Hairston, CEO of the African-American Chamber of Commerce of PA, NJ
& DE. “This initiative has equipped our entrepreneurs with the
essential technological skills needed to enhance their capacity and
efficiency, paving the way for sustainable growth and success. By
investing in technology, we are not just closing the digital
divide; we are empowering our businesses to compete on a global
scale and drive economic progress within our communities.”
“Verizon’s partnership provided a welcomed
opportunity for our organization to equip small businesses with the
knowledge, experts, and tools needed to integrate technology into
their operations,” said Jennifer Rodriguez, President & CEO of
the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “We are
immensely grateful for this collaboration.”
