Schneider Electric Foundation

The World Economic Forum reports that only 32% of global education degrees focus on renewables, even as the demand for green skills accelerates. Projections show 14 million new clean energy jobs by 2030, yet the energy sector remains significantly skewed.   We must acknowledge the reality: just 24% of the energy workforce is female, and 28% in STEM (International Energy Agency (IEA)). This is not just a statistic; it's a call to action. We need diverse perspectives to drive innovation and build a sustainable future.   At Schneider Electric, we are committed to empowering every individual. Through our Schneider Electric Youth Impact Through Learning initiative, we are focused on equipping young people with the skills they need for the digital and energy transition, with a deep commitment to empowering women.   Our programs, like the Youth Education and Entrepreneurship program, supported by the Schneider Electric Foundation, are designed to break down barriers and create pathways for growth. I am inspired by the stories of Albanes (Brazil), Seraluna (Indonesia), and Shakti (India). Their journeys underscore the transformative power of skills development.   Our mission is to enable everyone to achieve more. We must close the skills gap and foster a truly inclusive ecosystem. This is how we unlock the potential of every individual and drive meaningful progress.
