Home to over 130 million people, Mexico is the second-largest
economy in Latin America and the 15th largest in the world.
According to the World Bank economy overview, between 1980 and 2022
the Mexican economy grew by just over 2 percent annually on average
and in 2023, the economy grew by 3.2 percent. In addition to
providing health and other services, the Solar Community Hub will
equip residents of the Campana and Altamira community with
workforce training and development skills giving them the tools
they need to be a key part of Mexico’s continued economic
growth.
“At UKG, we believe talent is distributed equitably but
opportunity is not,” said Brian K. Reaves, executive vice president
and chief belonging, equity and impact officer at UKG. “This hub
empowers the community to access essential services like education,
healthcare and career training while securing much needed
infrastructure for public transportation, water and electricity.
It’s an investment that helps families thrive and has the power to
transform lives for generations to come.”
Dell Technologies’ Solar Community Hubs are a transformative
philanthropic initiative that prioritizes equity by connecting
under resourced communities with solutions and tools for long-term
capacity building. To date, Dell Technologies has built 48 Solar
Community Hubs to empower communities worldwide by providing
sustainable solutions tailored to local needs. These hubs:
- Are created from multiple repurposed shipping containers,
featuring renewable energy from solar panels and eco-friendly
designs.
- Provide space and technology to offer education programs
including basic and advanced computer skills, graphic design,
robotics, coding, entrepreneurship, resume building, and career
guidance.
- Become a central place to access various social services,
including healthcare, legal and financial support, as well as
provide reliable internet while offering a safe space for community
gatherings.
- Support micro and small enterprises to create jobs and drive
financial sustainability within the community.
Each hub integrates seamlessly into its environment, fostering
locally driven growth and development. This is the fourth Solar
Community Hub to be installed in Mexico; there are two existing
hubs located in the State of Mexico and one in Xalapa Veracruz.
"Partnerships are at the heart of driving meaningful, lasting
change for our communities. Through the Dell Solar Community Hub
program, we collaborate closely with local partners to deeply
understand community needs and deliver tailored digital resources.
Together, with partners like UKG, we’re empowering individuals to
sustainably build digital skills and advance professionally, while
paving the way for real impact and progress," said Cassandra
Garber, Chief Sustainability Officer, Dell Technologies.
"As a community, we have a great responsibility, and thanks to
the combined efforts of Dell, UKG, Computer Aid International, NIC,
FEMSA Foundation and Tecnológico de Monterrey, today we are
pioneering the first phase of a vision for the Campana-Altamira
community,” added Adrián Flores, Vice President of Monterrey and
General Director of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Monterrey Campus
Mario. “This encounter will allow us to continue with our
resolution. I hope that everyone participates in the courses,
workshops and activities that will be offered to promote the social
and economic development of our entity.”
This initiative in Mexico is part of a wider global UKG
initiative called Empower U, which is dedicated to equipping
students, partners and communities with the skills and tools to
thrive. By investing in health, human services and education, UKG
demonstrates its commitment to creating equity of opportunity and a
better world for all.
UKG’s long-standing presence in Mexico highlights its dedication
to supporting customers and communities throughout Latin America.
Additional recent local efforts include the opening of the UKG
Innovation Hub in Montevideo, Uruguay, a center for technological
advancement staffed by over 100 engineers.
“Witnessing Dell Technologies’ innovative Solar Community Hub
initiative firsthand was truly inspiring. At UKG, we’re committed
to creating equity of opportunity, and joining forces with Dell on
this transformative program felt like a natural alignment of our
values,” said Reaves. “We hope to continue to expand this
partnership beyond Mexico to help communities where we live and
work gain access to critical resources and sustainable solutions
that empower individuals to thrive and create lasting impact for
future generations.”
