ServiceNow collaborated with MIT Solve, a marketplace for social impact innovation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to gather and narrow down applicants and conduct the Digital Workforce Challenge. The Challenge specifically called for innovative, scalable, and sustainable solutions that aim to help solve the growing skills and job vacancies gap by increasing opportunities for people — particularly those from marginalized and underserved populations — to acquire the necessary skills to fully participate in the digital workforce.
Innovation in EV charging station service recognized
The Digital Workforce Challenge winner, ChargerHelp!, aims to drive Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption and sustainable success of EV network providers by helping to shrink the time it takes to service charging stations from weeks to hours. The new ChargerHelp! app will enable a community’s local workforce to easily validate, troubleshoot, or escalate a software issue impacting a networked EV charge station, regardless of their technical abilities. Studies have found that as much as 25% of the roughly 20,000 deployed EV charge stations are down at any given time due to software, rather than electrical, issues.
