Nurturing the next generation of technology professionals is critical for the future success of our digital workforce and society. Through our global STEM@CGI program, we partner with clients, local schools, government bodies, nonprofits and community organizations to inspire and mentor people of all ages for careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and IT-related professions. 

Global to local: we share a common objective

STEM@CGI programs take different forms across our global operations. However, they all share a common objective: to provide a supportive learning experience for all who participate within our communities. The content and format of these learning programs are adjusted to the needs of local populations and are aligned with school curricula and technological advancements. They are all available free of cost.

Advancing business and technical literacy

Leveraging CGI’s well-established network and our proximity model, regional teams identify potential partners based on local economic and community needs. Initiatives range from our STEM workshops in Canada to robotics competitions for children in France to a technology lab for blind people in India.

For STEM@CGI at Home, a program that supports at-home learning, our teams developed multiple learning activity packs for parents, educators, caregivers, and mentors to teach children about different aspects of STEM, such as coding, robotics, programming, and data analysis. Each pack includes activities, remote competition ideas, and links to additional educational materials.

Expanding our reach every year

In 2024, the STEM@CGI program reached over 285,000 students worldwide through the dedicated efforts of 6,717 CGI professionals who volunteered more than 35,000 hours annually. In addition, our global digital volunteering platform, CGI for Good, offers our professionals a wide range of opportunities to support this program, either by providing their expertise and time or through financial aid.
