Vanderburgh County broadband expansion AT&T collaborates with federal, state and local government to extend broadband throughout rural America. In 2021, we announced a $39 million project with Vanderburgh County, Indiana to expand high- speed fiber broadband to more than 20,000 households and businesses – s upporting a region where approximately one-third of the county population is without access to fixed broadband solutions. Our public-private collaboration with Vanderburgh County builds on over $1 billion invested by AT&T in our Indiana wireless and wireline networks between 2018–2020. Supporting employment opportunities The technology and media industries need a qualified, robust and diverse talent pipeline to remain competitive in the global economy. This includes individuals with “hard” skills such as coding and data analytics as well as “soft” skills that technology cannot replace, including leadership, collaboration and effective decision-making. For that reason, AT&T is investing in programs that address the multidimensional nature of today’s skills gaps to prepare people for career success. Our 2021 contributions support organizations such as All Star Code, Code.org, Per Scholas, Roadtrip Nation and Techbridge Girls. We also contributed to programs focused on empowering girls and young women with tech and STEM skills, and increasing the representation of women in STEM careers. We support organizations including Black Girls CODE, Girls Inc., Girl Scouts and Girls Who Code. WarnerMedia 8 Access to Action provides individuals who haven’t traditionally had pathways into the entertainment industry with access to below-the-line jobs at WarnerMedia. The program fosters a more creative and inclusive production workforce and to date has placed more than 500 candidates in 4 countries on WarnerMedia film and television productions. Our collaboration with Year Up We’re collaborating with Year Up, an organization that prepares young people for careers while earning college credits through a year-long program. In alignment with our commitment to help narrow the digital divide, by 2023 we plan to host 200 Year Up interns and alums annually. Since 2019, we’ve hosted 162 Year Up program participants and hired 50 former Year Up interns and alums across the country. As we move further into a post-pandemic workplace, we look forward to accelerating efforts and bringing more Year Up interns to AT&T locations. AT&T Year Up interns gain access to multiple departments and company platforms during their internship. They work alongside employees such as financial analysts or software engineers and can use our internal learning website, which features skills training for topics like customer service and business intelligence. We also host a regular speaker series and mentoring opportunities to build upon interns’ networking skills and experience with corporate culture. Affordable connectivity AT&T is driving down the cost of home internet for eligible households in our 21-state wireline footprint to the best monthly rate possible – $0. This free option is made possible by combining a new service plan from our low-cost Access f r om A T&T ® program with federal benefits from the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) . Our new service plan provides internet up to 100 Mbps for $30 per month. Households that qualify for ACP also qualify for our Access from AT&T p rogram and those that t ake advantage of the ACP benefit (up to $30 per month, or up to $75 per month for those on qualified Tribal lands) can then receive internet service at no monthly charge. Taking our impact abroad The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the livelihood and health of families, workers and businesses across Asia – where micro, small and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) help drive the region's economy. In Malaysia, the MSME sector suffered more than $9 billion in losses last year. And in Indonesia, more than 30 million MSME's have closed. Female entrepreneurs have been among the most affected. AT&T, in collaboration with Visa and the Asia Foundation, is launching the Accelerate initiative to help 6,000 women-led MSMEs in rural and remote communities gain access to technology, training and practical skills to reach customers, grow their business and engage in the digital economy of today and tomorrow. CUSTOMERS AND COMMUNITIES DIGITAL DIVIDE Read more: Digital Divide Issue Brief Read more: Digital Divide Issue Brief Digital divide “I discovered the Access from AT&T program. It was the segue for me to apply for benefits, look for childcare programs, look for jobs and attend training. It literally was my foundation to be able to get back on my feet.” – Ebony Ford, Access from AT&T customer in Atlanta Connecting rural America Many rural Americans are poorly served by fixed broadband, impacting their ability to connect with others and access products and services. Through our participation in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Connect America Fund (CAF) program, we’ve been working to meet the connectivity needs of customers in predominantly rural areas. Through the end of 2021, we’ve used funds from this program to help deploy, offer and maintain internet and voice services to over 1.1 million homes and small-business locations in FCC-identified areas of need. We're also working to improve connectivity in rural communities with AT&T Wireless Internet service, which provides cellular voice and internet service for homes or offices that aren’t easily reached by terrestrial network solutions.
