Improving the lives of young people around the world

Corporate citizenship is fundamental to the work we do at Avanade. While we apply innovation Microsoft technology to challenges faced by businesses and governments, we recognise that there is a further opportunity to help young people get the right start in life. We want to enable young people and their communities to achieve more through the power of our people and digital innovation.

"At Avanade, our purpose is to make a genuine human impact for our people, our clients, and our communities. How do we achieve this? We do what matters. I am so proud of the work we do to make a positive impact on our communities by being responsible in everything we do, from our focus on sustainability, green software, and ethical AI to our commitment to corporate citizenship. We’re dedicated to improving the lives of people around the world, by enabling them to achieve more through digital innovation."

Pam Maynard Chief Executive Officer, Avanade

The workforce of tomorrow

We recognise there’s no shortage of worthy causes in the world today. But we want to channel our energy toward one that is near to our hearts and our business: preparing the next generation, with a special focus on young women, to join the digital workforce of the future. Our focus is to make a genuine human impact by empowering and upskilling young men and women through a range of opportunities and programs, including the following:

  • Our Avanade STEM Scholarship, for young women wishing to study the STEM disciplines
  • Our partnership with Junior Achievement, which offers young men and women the opportunity to learn about business, leadership and entrepreneurship
  • Our new initiative, Technology for Social Good, which is about delivering Microsoft technologies to non-profit organisations and charities in the social sector
