Santander educational program expansions

Overview

Santander initiated the third edition of its ‘Santander Fala Mundo’ program, providing 10,000 free online spots for English, Spanish, and French courses. Developed in partnership with Immerse, the program uses artificial intelligence and virtual reality to offer immersive learning for individuals aged 16 and older. Following this, the bank expanded its educational offerings through the ‘Santander | Skills for Work’ program in partnership with Coursera. This broader initiative provides 100,000 spots for training in disciplines such as artificial intelligence, data analysis, leadership, marketing, and innovation. This expanded program is available to individuals over 18 in 12 countries, including Brazil and Colombia, and maintains the ‘Santander Fala Mundo’ language courses as part of its educational suite. In September 2026, the bank further expanded its digital training availability. Through the ‘Santander | Skills for Work’ partnership with Coursera, 50,000 new spots were opened for courses in artificial intelligence, data analysis, leadership, marketing, and innovation. These opportunities are accessible to individuals over 18 in 12 countries, including Brazil, without requiring a university degree or bank membership. Additionally, SoulCode and Santander Open Academy introduced 10,000 free spots in digital marketing and AI, which are accessible via WhatsApp. Later in September 2026, Santander announced the ‘Santander Professores: Novas Competências’ program in partnership with Semesp Corporate University. Registration for this initiative opens on October 15, 2026, offering 2,000 spots for higher education professors. The curriculum features four tracks: AI applied to teaching, active methodologies, communication and influence, and sustainable education, with a planned physical immersion phase in July 2027 at FGV in São Paulo. By late September 2026, the bank also launched a social impact coffee campaign across its WorkCafé units in several countries, including Brazil, Argentina, and Spain.
