Trenton, NJ ― AT&T contributed more than $500,000 to organizations across New Jersey in 2015 as part of AT&T Aspire, the company’s signature philanthropic initiative to promote student success in school and beyond.
“We know that when we invest in the education of our children, we are investing in the future of New Jersey,” said J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Mid-Atlantic. “To stay competitive, we must have a strong and well-educated workforce in New Jersey. AT&T Aspire is one way we support community-based organizations that inspire students and prepare them for bright futures.”
Many of the AT&T-supported programs also focus on strengthening students’ science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills, Schweder said.
