On February 25 in New York City, IBM was recognized by CECP with its Excellence Award for corporate philanthropy. IBM took top honors in the "Chairman's Award" category of companies with revenues of at least $20 billion for its Smarter Cities Challenge competitive grants program, which provides pro bono consulting services to municipalities worldwide. With the award, IBM became CECP’s first ever two-time Excellence Award recipient, having been previously recognized in 2002. Accepting for IBM was Ginni Rometty, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of IBM. Mrs. Rometty said that the award reinforces IBM's conviction that "this work is not simply an alignment of business and citizenship strategies, but a fusion of the two.” Presenting the award was Douglas R. Conant, Chairman, CECP; Founder and CEO, ConantLeadership; and former CEO & President, Campbell Soup Company. The Excellence Awards provide CECP and its members with case studies of impactful corporate engagement in society.

Do the Math (Infographic)
Date added: 2013-02-13
An educational background in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills are critical for high school and community college graduates in the US to obtain good jobs, which are plentiful for those with the right skills. However, most students don't complete their studies at community college, and have a mediocre or poor background in STEM subjects. In his 2013 State of the Union address, U.S. President Barack Obama has urged the education community and private sector to use IBM's blueprint for replicating the Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) model. This grades 9-14 school in Brooklyn, and similar schools in Chicago, provide students with associates degrees in technology, workplace experience, mentorships, and preferred consideration for a job at a partner corporation when they graduate.
