United States. Our 2021 campus recruiting season utilized a virtual format, including eight Historically Black Colleges and Universities as well as three Hispanic Serving Institutions. We also strengthened outreach to diverse candidates by collaborating with and sponsoring the Society of Hispanic Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers and Grace Hopper (a female engineering conference). EMEA. Our EMEA Business Inclusion Council strives to embed DEI in the way we operate in that region. The council identifies ways to improve access to diverse talent to tap into more diverse talent pools.

A fellowship program in India utilizes a six- month internship program to attract underrepresented individuals, e.g., those with disabilities, returning women, LGBTQ+ and veterans. The internships offer a learning pathway, buddy and mentor, and regular assessments, followed by the opportunity for qualified candidates to convert to full-time roles upon completion.
