PayCargo Education Push |
 |
 If you work in transportation, you know the name PayCargo.They’re known for changing how money moves in air and ocean cargo, making it faster to pay and easier to get paid. But there’s a whole other story happening alongside the Fintech action. Here at the PayCargo booth, looking pretty relaxed are (L) Michael White, former International Air Transport Association (IATA) Cargo Network Services Corp. (CNS) President; Eduardo Del Riego, President and CEO of PayCargo and Gregory G. Maloney, Ph.D. Teaching Professor of Marketing and Logistics at Florida International University. Nothing flashy. But the conversation wasn’t business deals. It was about education, and here like a horse of a different color that talk was not in the vague, “we should invest in the future,” kind of way. Everyone talks about bringing the next generation into logistics. Then you look around and realize: where are the big programs? Where’s the real funding? Lots of speeches, not enough structure. PayCargo driven by Eduardo Del Riego stepped into that gap nearly four years ago. On September 19th, 2023, PayCargo made a USD$1.25 million gift to Florida International University’s College of Business creating the PayCargo Supply Chain and Logistics Program. The point is to expand and strengthen FIU’s logistics education, but with a modern edge. The PayCargo move today is bringing leading logistics technology and real-world Fintech concepts straight into the classroom, so students aren’t learning supply chain like it’s still ten years ago. The endowment goes beyond course materials. It funds fellowships, helps recruit students into the program, supports corporate internships, and backs an executive speaker series. That’s a full pipeline: get students in, support them while they learn, connect them with employers, and let them hear directly from leaders in the field. PayCargo, when you broaden your understanding, is leaning into hands-on professional training as a way to open doors for more students locally, not just the ones who already have access. As example they also partner with Cristo Rey Network schools. Cristo Rey blends strong college-prep academics with something powerful: a Corporate Work-Study Program. Students from under-resourced communities actually work in real companies while they’re in school. PayCargo has pushed even further, internationally. They partner with the AREAS Foundation to support physical educational infrastructure and scholarships across multiple levels in multiple countries: India, Cameroon, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Gambia, and Spain. The point here is that education doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when people fund it, design it, and stay committed to it. Sometimes, the most important action on a convention floor isn’t a sale. It’s a decision to invest in who comes next. |
