Projects focused on STEM and the environment
take place worldwide
Today, CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) kicked off CA Together in
Action, the company’s annual employee volunteer initiative. From
Monday, April 17 to Friday, April 21, CA employees around the world
will take time out of their workday to give back in the communities
where they live and work. This is the 12th anniversary of the
initiative, which takes place the week leading up to Earth Day and
focuses largely on the advancement of STEM (science, technology,
engineering and math) education and the environment.
CA Together in Action activities in the U.S. are scheduled to
take place in Boulder, CO; Charlotte, NC; Framingham, MA; Herndon,
VA; Islandia, NY; New York, NY; Plano, TX; Portsmouth, NH; San
Juan, PR; and Santa Clara, CA. Global projects are scheduled in
Asia, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Mexico, Spain and
the United Kingdom.
“Since its inception in 2005, participation in CA Together in
Action has continued to grow, showing the commitment our colleagues
around the globe have to sharing their time and talents with those
in need,” said Erica Christensen, vice president, Corporate Social
Responsibility, CA Technologies. “As a software company, we’re
particularly invested in helping to close the STEM skills gap. CA
Together in Action is one of many ways we’re working to encourage
the next generation of tech leaders.”
CA is partnering with organizations like Code.org, a nonprofit
dedicated to expanding access to computer science, and increasing
participation by women and underrepresented students of color; and
STEM Alliance in Europe, an organization that inspires young people
to consider careers in STEM. Several activities are also being held
with long-time partners, including El Peñón IAP, Growing Gardens,
Island Harvest, PENCIL and Robert Moses State Park.
“We are proud to partner with CA Technologies to help bring
computer science education to all students,” said Hadi Partovi, CEO
and Founder, Code.org. “During CA Together in Action, CA
Technologies employees will have the opportunity to join the Hour
of Code movement which has brought computer science opportunities
to students year-round.”
“We always look forward to hosting CA Technologies here at
Growing Gardens each year,” said Lauren Kelso, site director. “The
volunteers are always so enthusiastic about helping out and also
bring an awesome skill set. This year the group will be using their
skills to build a wind block for our bee enclosure and planting
seeds and seedlings in our pollinator garden, both of which are
super important to sustaining the future success of our
gardens.”
“STEM Alliance is very pleased to have CA Technologies onboard
as a founding partner. Collaboration between schools and industry
is a vital step in addressing the skills gap to help make teachers
and pupils more aware of STEM study paths and careers. Through
these connections, we can raise young peoples' awareness of the
skills needed to pursue careers in STEM,” said Marc Durando,
Executive Director of European Schoolnet, a network of 31 European
Ministries of Education.
Over CA Together in Action’s history, more than 60,000 employee
volunteer hours have been given, and more than 1,200 projects have
been completed. CA employees are encouraged to use up to five
workdays each year to give back. In addition, CA matches employee
donations of up to $10,000 each fiscal year.
