Verizon donates $15K to St. Louis’ Gateway Global to boost workforce development
2024年7月30日 - 10:00PM
Coinciding with a new local investment of $15,000 and a STEM event
today in St. Louis, Verizon is celebrating the completion of a
mentoring program with St. Louis nonprofit Gateway Global, whose
STEM-based apprenticeship education and workforce development
solutions foster entry-level tech jobs, promotions to management
and beyond.
Gateway Global focuses on geo-spatial careers,
working to prepare youth for the high-quality jobs that will be
needed to support the nearly $2 billion National Geo-Spatial
Intelligence Agency headquarters under construction in North St.
Louis. Mentoring local students throughout the summer, Verizon
network team members have shared their career journeys and
experiences while working on critical infrastructure.
This afternoon at a Verizon facility in St. Louis,
Verizon staff and youth are celebrating the completion of the
program to demonstrate technology in action. Students will see
drone demos and Verizon engineers will showcase technologies that
help drive Verizon’s ultra-fast 5G Network.
“Volunteering with Gateway Global for the past
three years has been an incredible experience for myself and my
team of Network engineers,” said Marc Lindauer, mentor and
Associate Director of Network Operations. “Supporting the students
through their capstone projects and learning about their interests
and career aspirations is a great opportunity for us to share our
expertise with youth from around the St. Louis community.”
“Verizon mentors dedicating time to work with
students on our programming has been amazing,” Zekita Armstrong
Asuquo, Gateway Global CEO, said. “Our students appreciated having
support with their capstone projects as well as helping them think
through career pathways in critical infrastructure. Verizon has
shown how impactful mentorship can be to support the future
workforce in St. Louis.”
Establishing a partnership with Gateway Global in
2022, Verizon is proud to continue to support the work through this
new $15,000 investment and related mentor programming.
