NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 21, 2024 / Cadence's seven-year partnership with Team4Tech has given our employees unique opportunities to harness the power of technology and engage in a three-month philanthropic project to improve the livelihood of communities in need. In Fall 2023, this partnership allowed Cadence to reunite with a former Team4Tech project nonprofit partner, Women in Technology Uganda (WITU), on yet another transformative project!

馬薩諸塞州北安普敦/ACCESSWIRE/2024年5月21日/Cadence與Team4Tech的七年合作爲我們的員工提供了利用科技力量參與爲期三個月的慈善項目,以改善有需要的社區的生活的難得機會。2023年秋季,這種合作關係使Cadence得以與前Team4Tech項目非營利合作伙伴烏干達科技界女性組織(WITU)重聚在另一個變革性項目上!

Cadence first got involved with WITU in 2019 through another Team4Tech volunteer project. Nick Heaton, Distinguished Engineer in the Cadence Bracknell Office, was a part of this initial team. After the project, he stayed involved with WITU, got them registered for Cadence's donation matching program, and organized a microloan fund geared towards helping women start their own businesses. Nick went on to champion a Cadence internship program explicitly geared towards women in Uganda. This went well; four women are now Cadence employees, and two new interns have just been onboarded.

Cadence於2019年通過另一個Team4Tech志願者項目首次加入WITU。Cadence 布拉克內爾辦公室的傑出工程師尼克·希頓是最初的團隊的一員。項目結束後,他繼續參與WITU,讓她們註冊參加Cadence的捐款配對計劃,並組織了一項旨在幫助女性創業的小額貸款基金。尼克接着支持了一項專門針對烏干達女性的Cadence實習計劃。進展順利;現在有四名女性是Cadence的員工,兩名新的實習生剛剛入職。

We were pleased to have built upon our collaboration with WITU last Fall with a $25,000 impact grant. In November 2023, a global group of ten dedicated Cadence employees representing five different business units and 10 different offices in four countries wrapped up another exciting and impactful Team4Tech project with WITU, which aimed to empower young Ugandan women through technology and entrepreneurship.

我們很高興在去年秋天與WITU合作的基礎上再接再厲,獲得了25,000美元的影響力補助金。2023年11月,一個由來自四個國家的五個不同業務部門和10個不同辦事處的十名敬業的Cadence員工組成的全球團隊與WITU完成了另一個激動人心且具有影響力的Team4Tech項目,該項目旨在通過技術和企業家精神增強烏干達年輕女性的能力。

The Cadence volunteers in the Fall 2023 project collaborated virtually for ten weeks and then spent two intensive weeks on-site at WITU's office and a local high school in Kampala, Uganda. The project was divided into three impactful sub-teams, each focusing on a specific area. The first sub-team developed a new website, the WITU Digital Jobs Center, to connect WITU women with employment opportunities. The second sub-team planned and organized a hackathon event at a local high school to get students excited about coding and STEM, including creating materials to help WITU repeat this with other schools they serve. The third sub-team focused on building a Makerspace for WITU with hands-on tech learning opportunities, including 3D printers, virtual reality, and Micro:Bit electronics. Through a train-the-trainer approach and by developing comprehensive systems and guides, the volunteers worked to ensure the impact is sustainable.

2023年秋季項目中的Cadence志願者進行了爲期十週的虛擬合作,然後在烏干達坎帕拉的WITU辦公室和當地的一所高中現場集中度過了兩個星期。該項目分爲三個有影響力的子小組,每個小組都專注於一個特定的領域。第一個分組開發了一個名爲WITU數字就業中心的新網站,旨在將WITU的女性與就業機會聯繫起來。第二個分組在當地一所高中策劃並組織了一次黑客馬拉松活動,讓學生對編程和STEM感到興奮,包括製作材料以幫助WITU在他們所服務的其他學校重複這項活動。第三個分組專注於爲WITU打造一個創客空間,提供動手技術學習機會,包括3D打印機、虛擬現實和Micro: Bit電子產品。通過培訓員培訓的方法以及制定全面的系統和指南,志願者努力確保影響是可持續的。

The volunteers formed strong bonds across the different Cadence business units and geographies, bringing our One Cadence-One Team culture to life. They developed lasting friendships with each other and with the inspiring women of WITU. On a personal level, the volunteers found the project incredibly fulfilling, and some said it was life-changing. The volunteers gained perspective about using their skills and opportunities to help others. Professionally, they grew as leaders, practicing skills such as customer-centric innovation, decision-making amidst ambiguity, and a growth mindset.

志願者們在不同的Cadence業務部門和地區建立了牢固的聯繫,將我們的One Cadence-One團隊文化變爲現實。他們彼此之間以及與WITU鼓舞人心的女性建立了持久的友誼。就個人而言,志願者們發現該項目非常令人滿意,有人說它改變了生活。志願者們對利用自己的技能和機會幫助他人有了見解。在職業生涯中,他們成長爲領導者,練習以客戶爲中心的創新、在模棱兩可中做出決策以及成長心態等技能。

Opportunities like this embody Cadence's core values. We are committed to providing our employees with volunteer opportunities for professional growth and leadership development, and we are incredibly proud to partner with organizations such as WITU and Team4Tech.

像這樣的機會體現了 Cadence 的核心價值觀。我們致力於爲員工提供職業成長和領導力發展的志願者機會,我們非常自豪能與WITU和Team4Tech等組織合作。
