Summer School: Atos gives sholarships to high school girls

Abbiamo incontrato Agnese Musto, HR Business Partner di Atos che ci ha spiegato perché la sua azienda ha deciso di offrire due borse a studentesse che scegliessero di seguire Tech Camp:

"The participation in TechCamp has immediately found our interest: the transversal value of the STEM culture and its application to our professional and private life is now the main tool to achieve the objectives that the need for innovation requires us. As a leading company in Digital Transformation is a strand that we must feed, nurture and take care of, especially when the initiatives concern a young population, which is about to enter the university world: we believe that the "battle" of talents can be won even before the university choice. In this sense, while collaborations with university placement offices immediately offer the possibility to insert resources within our structure, this scholarship will allow us to invest strategically and with foresight in terms of human capital. Supporting and sponsoring a project that wants to guide an informed choice to the university world is strategic for us. In this case, among other things, we do so with an established partner, to whom we are linked by mutual and fruitful collaboration.

In Atos diversity (along with other strategic strands such as green issues, decarbonization and sustainability in general), is an integral part of our DNA, is an engine of growth and competitiveness. With our 110,000 professionals in 73 countries, we have created one of the most multicultural and multidisciplinary working environments in the world. We work together to deliver the high-quality, tailor-made solutions our clients expect to transform their business. Solutions that we believe can only be the result of the work of diverse teams, where people can enhance their unique features. To realize our full potential, we strive every day to nurture a culture where differences are recognized, respected and celebrated. We strive to make our employees feel valued and able to express themselves in the best possible way, encouraging individual contribution to the achievement of company goals. We have therefore chosen to dedicate the two scholarships to girls only, because too few women in our industry still choose the type of training and professional activity we need and want to give a message of change. In 2019, women accounted for 31% of staff. On the other hand, as far as 2020 is concerned, in Italy we have planned about 250 recruitments, with particular attention to the employment of women. Thanks to our continuous collaboration with the Politecnico in the last year we have included 10 graduates in Engineering".
