Otis Global Program To Mentor Stem Students
Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com
OTIS GLOBAL PROGRAM TO MENTOR STEM STUDENTS
Otis has launched a new global corporate social responsibility program focused on advancing youth science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and inclusive mobility solutions, the company announced on September 29. Made to Move Communities™ is an annual global student challenge designed to inspire creative, STEM-based solutions for mobility issues. Students in the program's first year will focus on mobility solutions for communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and will explore solutions that enhance connectivity and productivity, education, employment, medical care and social services. These solutions could, for example, address challenges with public transportation or mobility access for those with disabilities. Made to Move Communities will join with community and business partners to build a diverse talent pipeline and involve hundreds of dedicated employee mentorship hours and STEM program grants. The program will launch in phases across each of Otis' four geographic regions beginning in October and continuing through March 2021. Schools from Brazil, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Russia, Singapore, Spain and the U.S. are participating in the inaugural program, and Otis plans to increase the number of locations, students and employees involved each year.
