MEDELLÍN, Colombia (March 12, 2025) — SoftServe, a premier IT consulting and digital services provider, is celebrating its third anniversary in Colombia, solidifying its position as one of the country’s best workplaces. In recognition of its inclusive and equitable culture, the company was named Best Place to Work in 2024, with 98% of its associates in Colombia stating it is an excellent place to work.

As part of its commitment to diversity and equal opportunity, SoftServe was recognized by Employees for Youth and Great Place to Work as an outstanding workplace for women. The company has implemented initiatives such as employee resource groups, and in a Great Place to Work survey, 97% of female associates affirmed that SoftServe Colombia is a great place to work.

“Three years ago, SoftServe planted its roots in Colombia with a vision: to drive innovation, empower talent, and create a lasting impact,” said John Howard, VP and Country Manager at SoftServe Colombia. “Today, we celebrate not only our growth but also the thousands of lives we have transformed through technology, education, and opportunity. And this is just the beginning!”

Through its social and environmental programs, the company has positively impacted 850 lives. This includes planting 250 trees in the Farallones de Cali National Natural Park to help preserve the Cali River watershed. Additionally, SoftServe has supported STEM education in La Guajira, partnering with Guardianes Ancestrales to train nearly 100 Indigenous children aged 8 to 12.

SoftServe Colombia supports Open Tech, a corporate pro bono program that brings together experts who volunteer their time and knowledge to address critical social challenges. This year, SoftServe is collaborating with the MGM Foundation to improve access to green energy and connectivity, fostering social and economic development in communities.

Education and academic collaboration have been key priorities: in 2024, SoftServe Colombia invested in its workforce by providing 8,308 hours of learning through its SoftServe University platform. The company also impacted 1,873 students and professors and signed cooperation agreements with seven universities in the country, including the University of Antioquia, EIA University, and Universidad del Rosario, strengthening technology talent development.

Additionally, SoftServe hosted 69 knowledge-sharing activities with universities, covering topics such as AI, Big Data, and RAG. In the field of innovation, the company organized its first AI Week in partnership with NVIDIA, bringing together nearly 800 attendees, both in person and virtually, to discuss advancements in artificial intelligence.

SoftServe provides growth and training opportunities for communities and young talent, including its EmpowerU program, which promotes technology education from an inclusive perspective. Through partnerships with Fundación Juanfe, the Código Comuna 13 Programming School, and Fundación Cognitus, the company has supported 98 young professionals. Currently, SoftServe is implementing a Python fundamentals course for 23 students in the Teams Robotics collective in Quibdó, Chocó.

With an empowering culture and a strong focus on innovation, SoftServe continues to expand its presence in Colombia. The company currently has 16 open positions, which can be found here.

As SoftServe marks three years in Colombia, the company looks ahead to 2025, committed to driving social impact, fostering professional growth, and creating new opportunities for Colombian communities.
