employer, and one of the most significant employers in the
state. Intel has over 9,500 employees in Arizona.
Intel believes in the value of education and implements
a wide variety of education-related programs that promote
science, math, engineering and technology in the schools
in Arizona. These programs assist in developing the workforce
of the future and promoting educational opportunities among
females and minorities. Intel invests over $100 million
per year into these educational programs.
Intel
also sponsors many community events and programs. Earthfest
and Valley Forward - Intel was a title sponsor and exhibitor
at the Earthfest '99 Expo, which offered 5,000 valley students
the opportunity to participate in a youth conference and
environmental exhibition at the Phoenix Civic Plaza. National
Engineers and Technicians Week - In 1999, more than 31,000
K-12 students were impacted by 381 Intel volunteers who
visited schools to help students understand how math, science
and engineering relate to the world around them. Similar
programs are ongoing with Intel and its many volunteers,
who are in schools and sponsoring local events on a monthly
basis.
Additionally, Intel supports a variety of local agencies
through volunteer involvement and donations. Over the years,
through the Intel Involved program, thousands of Intel Arizona
employees have donated more than 100,000 hours of their
time to meet community needs. Through education-related
programs, community clean-up projects and assistance to
not-for-profit agencies, Intel in Arizona has contributed
more than $10 million in monetary, time and equipment donations.
