The United States consistently has many more science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs available than people who are qualified to fill them. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, over the next 10 years, American STEM careers are predicted to increase by more than 20 percent, further increasing the present demand for skilled professionals in these fields.
STEM@CGI exists to introduce, inspire and mentor students to help increase diversity in the IT industry. The program focuses on groups underrepresented in STEM including students who identify as female, Black, Latino, and Indigenous, have disabilities and/or are economically underserved. Since inception, hundreds of CGI members have volunteered and worked with thousands of students in U.S. communities from Los Angeles, CA to Fairfax, VA.
While providing curriculum based experiences that introduce students to science, technology, engineering and math, students are encouraged to explore the vast opportunities that exist in the IT field. By inspiring and providing access to students who are underrepresented to pursue education career paths around STEM, we increase diversity in the future digital workforce.
CGI professionals work hand-in-hand with community partners that include schools, local governments, nonprofits, local businesses and clients to plan and implement activities and events that help bring STEM to life for every participating student. Our flagship program, CGI STEM Camp, teaches children about STEM-related careers through fun, interactive one-day events, provided at no cost to the students.
STEM@CGI has also expanded to include STEM@CGI at Home, a self-driven, ready to use set of STEM activities specifically curated for ease of use in the home and virtual environment, increasing accessibility for all.
