Global employee projects focus on STEM and the
environment
Today, CA Technologies kicks off its annual CA Together in
Action employee volunteer initiative. The program will run for five
days, culminating with events held on Earth Day – Friday, April
22.
CA employees around the globe will take time out of their
workday to give back by participating in community based,
environmentally-focused projects that include the building of
affordable housing, assistance with food banks, and by supporting
the advancement of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
learning for young people.
“We are excited to be celebrating the 11th anniversary of CA
Together in Action” said Erica Christensen, vice president,
Corporate Social Responsibility, CA Technologies. “Participation
continues to grow each year, with CA volunteers continuing to
demonstrate a true commitment to serving the communities in which
they live and work.”
Projects will be held throughout the U.S. in locations including
Boulder, CO; Denver, CO; Framingham, MA; Herndon, VA; Islandia, NY;
Lisle, IL; New York, NY; Plano, TX; Raleigh, NC; Santa Clara, CA;
and Tampa, FL. Global projects will be organized in Argentina,
Brazil, Canada, Colombia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany,
India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
Several of the activities are being held with long-time
nonprofit partners, including Fondazione Sodalitas, the Henry
Viscardi School, IMS Entreprendre pour la Cité, Learning to Work,
PENCIL, Robert Moses State Park, and Stone Barns Center for Food
& Agriculture.
“We are grateful to partner with CA Technologies, whose
employees are donating their time to promote environmental
awareness,” said Joe Leissle, RMSP Supervisor & Volunteer
Coordinator, from Robert Moses State Park. “This year, CA employees
will help with the installation of erosion-control fencing, the
pulling and replanting of dune grass, and beachfront and dune
cleanup.”
“We are proud to continue our partnership with CA Technologies,
as we work together to invest in the next generation of STEM
leaders,” said Gregg Betheil, President, PENCIL. “Through the
CA Together in Action program, volunteers will focus on the
development of students’ 21st century skills around STEM subjects
which will ultimately benefit them in the future.”
In Europe this month, CA employees in Italy, Spain, France and
Germany will get involved in Deploy Your Talents, a program driven
by CSR Europe. Deploy Your Talents enables partnerships between
schools and businesses to raise awareness among school students of
the value of STEM subjects, and to help overcome gender
stereotyping.
"CA Technologies has a deep bench of talent, skills and
experience to leverage in addressing the STEM skills crisis. Deploy
your Talents forms part of Create Tomorrow, a Europe-wide program
designed to engage our workforce in programmes to help address the
STEM skills gap and encourage more women to enter STEM-related
careers,” said Marco Comastri, president and general manager EMEA,
CA Technologies.
“The key to Europe’s future economic success and competitiveness
is a highly skilled workforce, especially in the areas related to
STEM education. The objective of Deploy Your Talents is to help
close the gap between the need of new talents in STEM studies and
jobs and the interest of young people in these areas. Along with
its network of 10,000 companies, CSR Europe is working to find
tools and solutions to tackle the challenges of the skills and jobs
shortage. This includes the Deploy your Talents project, which
falls under the work of the European Pact for Youth, a mutual
engagement between business and the European Commission,” said
Stefan Crets, Executive Director, CSR Europe.
Since the CA Together in Action initiative launched in 2005,
more than 55,000 employee volunteer hours have been contributed and
more than 1,100 projects have been completed. CA employees are
encouraged to use up to three workdays annually to volunteer for
company-sponsored activities of their choice. In addition, each
fiscal year CA matches employees’ personal charitable contributions
up to $5,000.
