People
We strive to make a new world happen through technology, innovation and our Global Community Impact program. Our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve is critical to empowering our people, who empower our business.
As a results-oriented business, it makes sense for our commitment to creating a positive impact on our people be tied to outcomes, too. We take seriously our role in developing our employees, investing in our communities and making a positive social impact for all.
GCI Pillars
The Global Community Impact program is designed to strengthen the community by supporting organizations that provide:
Career readiness
STEM education and workforce development
Human services
Social justice and basic needs
Health & Wellness
Physical and mental health

Inspiring and igniting untapped potential
Our partnership with NAF works towards the goal of using work-based learning as a catalyst to create a Future-Ready world.

Real World Experience Opportunities
It is important to us to create pathways to economic prosperity by launching careers for military veterans and young adults from under-resourced communities.
Our partnership with NPower provides these groups with training, professional development, internships, and job placement assistance. Our employees volunteer as board members, guest lecturers, and mock interviewers. In many instances, we've hired NPower participants.
