In the world of digital finance and the cryptocurrency industry, Bitget has established itself as one of the leading global exchanges. Bitget's Blockchain4Youth initiative, launched a year ago, has been an important step in promoting blockchain and cryptocurrency education among young people around the world.
"Blockchain4Youth is a global initiative to make blockchain education accessible to everyone under the age of 30. We believe that blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize many industries, and we want to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to be at the forefront of this change," said Bitget.
Blockchain4Youth was launched in May 2023, with $10 million in funding over five years. Bitget's research shows that millennials and Gen Z play a crucial role in shaping the crypto-friendly future, with millennials making up 46% of crypto enthusiasts.
Blockchain4Youth is an educational program designed to equip young people with knowledge and skills in blockchain technology and digital assets. The initiative aims to bridge the gap in understanding of modern technology and provides educational resources, programs, and scholarships for students who want to develop in this field.
Through this project, Bitget is helping young people understand blockchain technology through a variety of means, including scholarships, on-campus lectures, and hands-on projects.
Since the launch of Blockchain4Youth, the program has reached more than 6,000,000 students and young professionals, providing them with access to up-to-date information, workshops, and training. Also, the Blockchain4Youth project has held more than 54 lectures and workshops around the world: in Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, Europe, and South America.
The program is run in collaboration with renowned influencers and more than 50 universities, including University College London (UCL), the National University of Technology in Argentina, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, the National Taiwan University Blockchain Club, and many others.
With the new knowledge, the project participants gained tools to understand and use blockchain technology. In total, more than 2,000 certificates were issued upon successful completion of the courses and final exam.
Key achievements of Blockchain4Youth include:
- Training seminars and webinars where experts shared their knowledge on blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and investing.
- Partnerships with universities to create specialized courses on blockchain technology.
- Scholarships and grants are available for talented students interested in studying the field.
Bitget intends to grow the Blockchain4Youth program by expanding its global reach and further strengthening its collaboration with institutions.
The company's plans are:
- Expand learning materials for students from diverse backgrounds.
- Internationalize the program to new regions to create a global network of young blockchain professionals.
- Provide internships and job placements for program graduates.
Gracy Chen, Managing Director of Bitget, commented, "The Blockchain4Youth program has been remarkable and has transformed blockchain education, making it accessible and practical for the leaders of tomorrow. Our goal was not just to impart knowledge but to create a vibrant community ready to pioneer transformative blockchain apps."
With Blockchain4Youth, Bitget aims to lay the foundation for a new generation of professionals capable of shaping the future of the blockchain industry and WEB3 technologies.
