Our employee resource groups (ERG) have taken STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education to heart and incorporated it into their community outreach activities. In 2016 alone, our ERGs hosted 11 STEM education events, engaging with thousands of students, ensuring that they take the first step in meeting the demands of an increasingly tech-proficient professional environment.
西班牙裔领导者行动组织 (HOLA) ERG 在全国各地的小学开展了多次 STEM 教育日活动，将公司的领导者和员工聚集在一起，为学生们讲授 STEM 课程。在 4 月份的一次活动中，来自 16 个业务领域的领导为芝加哥地区的 176 名六、七年级学生上了一堂有趣的电视收视率互动课。仅在该地区就举办了第五次活动。
"客户经理兼 HOLA 中西部负责人阿曼达-沃尔夫（Amanda Wolfe）表示："尼尔森是一家由 STEM 专家组成的公司，我们有责任利用我们的专业知识为更多人服务。"我们希望，通过在学生进入劳动力市场之前向他们传授 STEM 相关技能的实际应用，能够激励他们从事这些领域的职业，不仅丰富尼尔森，也丰富我们的客户和美国的经济"。
Along with HOLA, Women in Nielsen (WIN) also promotes STEM education to students. For the past two years, WIN has hosted Girl Scouts at the Global Technology and Innovation Center (GTIC) in Oldsmar, Fla., for “STEM Saturday.” At the most recent of these events, close to 100 Nielsen associates facilitated engaging workshops that covered a variety of STEM topics. The Girl Scouts were taught to manage budgets, make polymers and emollients, create LED flashlights and do some basic coding, among other activities. Upon completion of four tasks, the girls earned a Nielsen STEM patch.
"技术和 WIN 东南地区负责人 Annette O'Malley 说："女性在 STEM 领域的代表性有很大的提高空间。在 "STEM 星期六"，我们将与未来的女性领导者接触，激发她们对各种 STEM 领域的兴趣，从而激励这些年轻女性在这些领域求学和就业。
