Outsourcing Impact Award on Education (Silver)
Outsourced Learning Hub
The Outsourced Learning Hub, launched by Outsourced, seeks to improve education by offering advanced learning resources and facilities to underprivileged students. Dedicated to closing the digital gap, this initiative aids students and helps them thrive academically while getting ready for future prospects in a world that is becoming more digital.
Through this initiative, Outsourced proves its dedication to fostering community development and educational advancement.
Created to assist students at Santolan High School in Pasig City, Philippines, the initiative offers contemporary educational tools and resources, closing the gap in technology and guaranteeing students the necessary resources to succeed in the current digital era.
It shows how outsourcing can go beyond improving business efficiency and play a major role in community development, especially in the education sector.
The objective of the Outsourced Learning Hub is to offer balanced educational opportunities to students in underprivileged regions.
Recognizing the significance of investing in education and technology, Outsourced, a leading outsourcing provider in the Philippines, spearheaded this project. The company's objective is to empower local communities through sustainable educational programs that provide long-term benefits.
Through the donation of up-to-date equipment and the creation of a dedicated learning hub, Outsourced hopes to improve students' educational experiences.
The Outsourced Learning Hub has successfully established its first center at Santolan High School, benefiting approximately 9,000 students. By providing access to advanced technology and essential learning resources, the initiative has significantly improved students' engagement with educational materials and their overall academic performance. Efforts are underway to duplicate this achievement by extending the learning hub to more schools.
Outsourced’s revenue fully funds the project, guaranteeing its sustainability without dependence on outside funding sources. The company shows its dedication to community development through ongoing investment in the hub, which is regularly assessed using important impact markers like student involvement, improvement in performance, and availability of online learning resources.
With a dedicated team of 200 employees at Outsourced Quality Assured Services Inc., the company is focused on the learning hub's success and its future expansion. This initiative illustrates how businesses can drive meaningful change through socially responsible projects.
The Outsourced Learning Hub is led by a dedicated team within Outsourced, supported by local educators and community members. This collaborative leadership ensures that the hub meets the evolving needs of students and teachers, facilitating a smooth operation and continuous improvement.
The Learning Hub has had a positive impact on students' educational experience at Santolan High School. With the help of modern technology, students now have access to online resources that were previously inaccessible, leading to a more immersive and enhanced learning setting. Furthermore, teachers gain advantages from incorporating technology into their teaching approaches, improving their efficiency in providing education.
One poignant example of the hub’s impact is Silc, a student who shared her journey of transformation. Before the hub, Silc struggled with her schoolwork due to limited access to technology. However, since its opening, she has been able to engage more deeply with her studies and explore new subjects.
“With these gadgets, we can actually do more and learn more,” Silc emphasizes, showcasing the tangible benefits of the Outsourced Learning Hub.

Now in its second year, the OIR Awards recognize outsourcing companies that have made positive impacts in areas such as community building, education, diversity, and health.
Accompanying the OIR Awards is the comprehensive OIR Report that analyzes each outsourcing company’s impact initiatives and highlights how their projects are transforming lives and industries.
This two-pronged campaign comprises an Outsourcing Impact Awards event, which honors outstanding impact initiatives by outsourcing companies, and an Outsourcing Impact Report, encapsulating the compelling case stories behind these initiatives.
By documenting and acknowledging the far-reaching impacts and corporate social responsibility efforts of outsourcing companies, we aim to foster a broader, more nuanced understanding of the outsourcing landscape and its potential to drive positive change.
