61 intel.com/responsibility 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Making Technology Fully Inclusive and Expanding Digital Readiness We are committed to our 2030 global challenge to advance inclusion and accessibility for millions of people who do not have the technology skills or resources needed to access educational, economic, and community resources in our digital economy. In 2021, we scaled a number of programs and collaborations with customers, governments, and other stakeholders in the areas of technology access and online learning, digital skills and readiness, and technology applications to advance social equity and human rights. Technology Skills for Today and Tomorrow  Digital readiness encompasses digital skills, trust, and responsible usage of emerging technologies for broader socio-economic benefits. Globally, there is a gap emerging between new jobs that require digital skills and a workforce that lacks the required skills to fill these jobs. According to Accenture,¹ closing the digital skills gap could add up to $11.5 trillion US in GDP in 14 G20 countries by 2028. To address immediate semiconductor manufacturing technical challenges and workforce shortages, in March 2022, we announced a $100 million investment over the next decade to establish semiconductor manufacturing and research collaborations with universities, community colleges, and technical educators across the US. We will invest $50 million directly into higher education institutions in Ohio, where we plan to build two new leading-edge chip factories. An additional $50 million from Intel will be matched by $50 million from the US National Science Foundation in national funding opportunities. Aligned with Intel ’ s corporate purpose and RISE 2030 strategies and goals, Intel has rolled out Intel® Digital Readiness Programs globally in partnership with govern - ments, academia, civil society, and industry stakeholders as a shared-value initiative to demystify and democratize emerging technologies. Intel Digital Readiness Programs empower wider non-technical audiences, future developers, and next-generation technologists with the appropriate skills, mindsets, tools, and opportunities to use technology effectively and responsibly. During 2021, Intel drove a wide range of initiatives—including AI for Citizens, AI for Youth, AI for Future Workforce, AI for Current Workforce, and Digital Readiness for Leaders—aimed at empowering citizens, students, professionals, and leaders to participate in and benefit from a digital economy. We scaled the programs by working with more than 20 countries, 50 education ministries, and other partners, impacting over 13,000 institutions and 1 million people globally.  In the US, the AI for Workforce program expanded to 33 community colleges across 18 states, since Intel and the Maricopa County Community College District launched the first Intel-designed AI associate degree program in late 2020. Through collaboration with Dell and the American Association of Community Colleges, we expect the program to reach all 50 states by 2023. In China, AI for Youth and AI for Future Workforce pro - grams expanded to five provinces through collaboration with ministries, key universities, and industry partners. In Asia, Intel Digital Readiness programs reached eight countries/regions—India, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan— including new programs: AI for Citizens, AI for Current Workforce and AI for Future Workforce. We also scaled 1 It’s Learning. Just Not As We Know It.
