- 6. How: Student Interns • Globally staffed 450 Student Interns, 215 in the US • Target schools all across the Globe • Intern projects aligned with degree program and career interest • Each intern receives one on one mentoring, service learing opportunities, and live the vmware life on our campus. • They make an impact to the business: Horizon Mobile. “Interns are actually responsible for some of the more innovative projects at VMware,” says Charles Fan, SVP of R&D, Storage and Application Services.
- 7. How: VMwomen • VMware VMwomen is our enterprise-wide initiative to increase the representation of women at every level in every function and region. It is grounded in research showing how greater diversity results in increased innovation that in turn leads to better business outcomes. The long-term goals of our program are to: – Become an employer of choice for women – Increase the representation of women globally – Help women grow into senior leadership roles – Encourage men to become actively involved – Increase the pool of female talent choosing to enter technology – Sponsoring, nurturing and supporting girls in STEM fields with a focus on developing a pipeline of women in computer science and engineering

- 9. CONFIDENTIAL 9 Summary 1. Demand is exceeding supply – need for technical skills is as high as ever 2. Technology Disruption is driving the need. 3. Culture is shifting. Prepare for it. 4. Lack of Innovation – if its not “cool” they wont come 5. Get involved at the K-12 level and Start Early and sometimes at home 6. Internships – make them structured and meaningful 7. Diversity
Editor's Notes
- Start with the “Dark Ages” But with the majority of workers bringing so many of their personal devices, (and apps) into the organizations usage trends such as “bring your own device” (BYOD) and “corporate-owned, personally enabled” (COPE) have become mainstay essentials to delivering IT scale and end-user choice.
- Note:
- Note: “For more than a decade, educators have struggled to find ways to attract students to STEM. High school interest in STEM fields, in particular, has fallen substantially: even as STEM employment has risen by more than 30 percent since 2000, student interest has fallen nearly 19 percent, according to data analyzed as part of the U.S. News/Raytheon STEM Index”
- Prior to accepting an offer at VMware, students have the opportunity to learn exactly what projects they’re going to work on. This allows students to see if the project is in line with their degree, program, and career interests,” “Interns are actually responsible for some of the more innovative projects at VMware,” says Charles Fan, SVP of R&D, Storage and Application Services. This is because students come with a fresh perspective that pushes boundaries on technology and the latest academic knowledge. VMware’s Horizon Mobile project essentially started from a summer internship project? It’s pretty cool to think that student interns where on the ground floor driving what’s next in mobile cloud computing at VMware.
- At VMware, we understand the importance of getting students excited about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) subjects early in their academic careers. We believe that by fostering hands-on experiences with VMware products and interacting with the brightest minds in the industry, we can encourage students to study these areas and become as passionate about the future of technology as we are. Our student outreach efforts include partnership building, collaboration, event participation and sponsorship with the following organizations at the international, national and regional levels: First Bytes 2014 marked third year participating One week camp at UT Austin for 60 girls interested in pursuing a computer science degree Hosted them for 2 days in Austin Office. Broken into teams and participated in various programming activities Spent time with female VMW R&D staff members discussing their individual career paths The “Anything Boys Can Code Girls Can Code Better” tshirts were a hit.
- Note: According to one statistic less than 40% of Americans receive college degrees . Demand for employees with STEM backgrounds has increased 30%, the level of interest in STEM subjects has dropped by 19%. This last decade has seen more industry wide technology disruption than arguable the prior three (Mobile, Virtualization, Cloud) The new graduating workforce expects access all the time from anywhere. The idea being tied down traditional office isn't as appealing. 4. We see it internally, if the work is not cool they will go where it is. The Facebook phenomenon. While kids think its still fun, establish curiousity building activities with children can help establish pre science and math skills important to future jobs. 7. Diversity – foster, develop and mentor girls and women who wish to enroll in STEM courses. Recent efforts to involve young women seem to have paid off despite the decline in overall interest.
