Business Wire
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced a partnership with
DonorsChoose.org to advance science, technology, engineering and
math (STEM) education initiatives in schools around the country
that serve the underprivileged.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, over the next five
years STEM jobs are projected to grow twice as quickly as jobs in
other fields. Partnerships between businesses like CA Technologies
and nonprofits like DonorsChoose.org, are helping to provide
students with the education and skills required to fulfill the
needs of the future workforce.
“We are grateful to partner with CA Technologies to build
expertise and excitement for STEM learning within communities by
introducing these critical subjects into the classroom,” said
Charles Best, Founder of DonorsChoose.org. “Students with STEM
skills are in high demand and with this support, they will receive
the crucial materials they need to help them succeed.”
DonorsChoose.org, also a CA Technologies customer, enables
teachers to submit funding requests for specific classroom projects
and materials. Individuals and organizations can browse requests,
make donations to projects that interest them and receive photos
and thank-you notes from the classroom.
“STEM education is preparing the next generation’s workforce for
careers in high technology by exposing them to the role of IT in
the real world,” said Adam Famularo, senior vice president, CA
Technologies and a DonorsChoose.org National Advisory Council
member. “By partnering with DonorsChoose.org, CA Technologies is
fulfilling its role as an industry leader in supporting these types
of socially-critical initiatives.”
CA Technologies contributed $100,000 to this effort -- part of
which will go toward philanthropic gift cards to be shared with CA
Technologies customers and partners to provide funding to the
DonorsChoose.org school or other education projects. The remaining
funds will be allocated to matching STEM education classroom
project requests on the DonorsChoose.org website from high-need
schools in Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts,
New York, Texas, Virginia and Washington. In addition, CA
Technologies will donate all profits received from the sales of
their new eBook on Amazon.com titled “Chief and Chuck Battle I.T.
From the Future” to DonorsChoose.org for their STEM efforts.
