Our Story
Gary Carrier founded Plataforma Impact in 2020 after believing there was a better way to fill the growing gap of technology talent in the market.
After living in Brazil’s largest favela, and subsequently working in Silicon Valley, Gary brought technology training, mentorship, and career preparation to low-income youth with the aim of preparing the next generation of technology entrepreneurs while breaking cycles of poverty.
Today, Plataforma Impact works partners with companies like Oracle, Google, and Alura to provide training to students in hundreds of favelas across Brazil while placing graduates with hiring companies around the globe.
Talent is universal, opportunity is not. Technology helps us close the gap.
Millions of high potential people are living in favelas or communities like them. Meanwhile, a growing number of technology jobs remain unfilled due to a lack of qualified talent.
We work with technology companies seeking qualified talent to create solutions that both serve the needs of the market and create positive social impact.
We’re equipping people with the skills to build wealth and break the poverty cycle for themselves and their families.
