Two Weeks Left to Register for Youth Education Roundtable in Boston

On June 2, join business leaders at PwC for free roundtable focused on the nexus between STEM and sustainability.

Published 05-16-16

Submitted by U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Corporate Citizenship Center

Today’s business leaders are redefining business success by how their companies work and impact society, driving the need for a deeper understanding of the relationship between environmental, educational and economic demands. 

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Corporate Citizenship Center and PwC are advancing this dialogue by hosting a series of roundtables on the nexus of sustainability and STEM education. At this roundtable, A Sustainable Future through Empowerment and Equality, business leaders will convene to discuss strategies for maximizing students' capacity to contribute to a sustainable future. 

The roundtables will provide an interactive platform for companies to discuss the challenges and opportunities for equipping students with the experiences and skills to better enable a healthy workforce and sustainable future; and how a corporate purpose that embraces the broader impact on society can provide a roadmap for this new landscape. In so doing companies can enhance their competitiveness, drive innovation, and address global environmental and social challenges.

Please contact Jennifer Gerholdt to register or to inquire about additional details.
