  • Elevate training program focused on digital and professional skills
  • Flexible, self-paced learning designed for rider schedules
  • Supporting skills such as organisation, communication, and digital literacy
  • Enabling both immediate performance and long-term opportunity
  • Empowering riders to pursue entrepreneurial and career ambitions

As the nature of work evolves, access to skills is becoming just as important as access to income. For many people working in the platform economy, the ability to build new capabilities, from digital literacy to leadership skills, can open pathways to long-term opportunity.

PedidosYa Elevate provides riders with access to an educational platform featuring a series of free, online, self-paced courses from IBM Skills Build and Microsoft, focusing on AI, soft skills, digital marketing, digital design, entrepreneurship, and more.

A key strength of Elevate is its accessibility. Courses are designed to be flexible and self-paced, allowing riders to learn at a time that fits around their schedules. This ensures that professional development does not come at the expense of earning opportunities, making learning more inclusive and achievable.

"It really opens your mind and teaches you things you might not have considered. The flexibility means you can learn at any time, which makes a big difference."

Enrico Veroni

Beyond immediate skills, Elevate also supports longer-term ambitions. For Gerson Cárcamo López, the program is helping lay the foundation for future entrepreneurial plans:"The courses help you build skills that you can use in the future. I want to use what I've learned to develop my own digital project."

By combining accessible learning with practical application, Elevate enables riders to invest in their own development, whether that means improving performance today or preparing for new opportunities tomorrow.

This reflects a broader role for platforms in today’s economy. Beyond enabling work, they can also support skills development and upward mobility, helping individuals build capabilities that extend beyond the platform itself.
