🌍 #SchneiderElectric and Schneider Electric Foundation are committed to empowering the next generation to lead the energy transition. With our Youth Education & Entrepreneurship Program, we aim to train 1 million youth in energy management by 2025 and have already trained over 730,000 people since 2009. Our approach focuses on accessible learning, hands-on education on climate awareness, and addressing gender disparities in STEM, positioning us as leaders in shaping a sustainable future. With initiatives like New Skills for the Future, we provide transformative training that empowers youth aged 15 to 35—especially girls and women—to become innovators and impact-makers in their communities. Our holistic framework, built on the pillars of Educate, Energize, and Empower, ensures that young people receive not only technical skills but also critical thinking, leadership, and problem-solving abilities. 👉 Read Manish Pant’s blog to discover how Schneider Electric is turning this ambition into action and how you can be a part of this transformative journey!  🔗 https://lnkd.in/dtvN6mVF #COP29 #ClimateAction #YouthUpskilling #YouthEmpowerement #NewSkills4Future Gilles Vermot Desroches Francois MILIONI Patricia Benchenna Diane Le Goff Zanelle Dalglish Ravishka Jairam Marwa Hammad Raeesa Suffla Bonera Bananayo

🌐 Schneider Electric enhance the educational opportunities for refugees by providing access to modern technology at training centers. Schneider Electric’s Digital Learning team trained local trainers at a refugee centre in Bangladesh on our software - XR Operator Advisor. This digital equipment will enable them to provide practical hands-on digital training to students. The training, in partnership with NGO Electricien Sans Frontières, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and NGO Forum, will equip 220 students with the fundamental knowledge around electricity and solar power. In just two weeks, Cédric Hénon and the team were able to: 🛠️ Install and deploy #SchneiderElectric training material and the digital solar training kits on the tablets for easy access. 🛠️ Equip the local trainers to be proficient in using the software and the tablets. 🛠️ Guide the trainers to connect theoretical knowledge with real-life scenarios, using our digital tool. 🛠️ Implement a new digital training simulation on the Hybrid Solar Home system. 💡 We’re proud to be devising new ways to teach sustainable energy solutions across the world. Stay tuned as we will be sharing the testimonies of these trainers trained where they will give us an insight to their key takeaways from this initiative. #DigitalTraining #InnovationInEducation #YouthImpactThroughLearning #ImpactCompany Alban Aymes Thomas Bonicel Marie Castella Francois MILIONI Marie Boutonnet

👷🏽️ Empowering Teenage Girls in Brazil ⚡ #SchneiderElectric and Schneider Electric Foundation, through the impactful Youth Education and Entrepreneurship Program, are proud to lead efforts to empower 1 million youth by 2025, with a special focus on girls and women. 📚 In partnership with Afesu - Associação Feminina de Estudos Sociais e Universitários, we are supporting two professional training centers in Brazil with innovative courses in IoT, Basic Technology, and Renewable Energy. Our journey began with the Afesu Morro Velho unit, where renewable energy was introduced into the curriculum following a contract signed in 2021. Today, we are thrilled to announce the addition of a second unit, Afesu Veleiros! To date, 122 girls have benefited from this program, and with the new contract, we aim to positively impact an additional 125 girls over the next five years. 🎓 Through Incentive Law investment projects, this initiative goes beyond technical training. It prepares girls and women for the job market, helping them unlock their full potential. A notable outcome has been the hiring of these talented young women—many have joined Schneider Electric Brazil as apprentices, with some advancing to internships as they pursue higher education. A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated team making this impact possible: Milena Rosa, Marie Boutonnet and Carla Paulino Binholo. Together, we are shaping a brighter, more inclusive future 🌍💡 Diane Le Goff Marwa Hammad Rafael Segrera Roberto Rossi #Empowerment #WomenInTech #RenewableEnergy #SHElectric

Training women in technical field in Colombia 🌍💡 We’re thrilled to share a glimpse into the incredible journey of empowerment happening in Colombia, supported by Schneider Electric and the Schneider Electric Foundation through our Youth Education and Entrepreneurship program. Our team in Colombia visited the Don Bosco Institutes in Cali and Villa Don Bosco Santander de Quilichao, where we witnessed firsthand the transformative power of education in technical fields. These institutes are equipped with educational benches dedicated to electricity and renewable energies, specifically designed to uplift the community by providing vital technical skills. 🛠️🌞 In a significant move towards breaking gender barriers, we are especially proud that 30 women from vulnerable communities are currently receiving specialized training in residential electricity and renewable energy. This initiative not only enhances their quality of life but also plays a crucial role in fostering economic development within their communities. 🚀👩🎓 Our commitment is clear: to support women’s active participation in the energy transition, ensuring it is just, inclusive, and sustainable. These educational benches at Don Bosco are more than just training grounds; they are launchpads for future female leaders in the electrical sector. 💼🌱 Let’s applaud the efforts of our dedicated team members Ana Camila Gil, Mairyn Romero and Julián De Ávila who are making this vision a reality.

🏠🌍 In 2021, the World Economic Forum highlighted a pressing global issue: 150 million people worldwide were homeless. At #SchneiderElectric, we’re committed to making a difference, one house at a time. For the fourth consecutive year, our Schneider Electric Argentina team proudly collaborated with TECHO - Argentina to combat homelessness directly. During our Volunteer Day in October, 80 Schneider Electric employees each day, together with our partners Cavego S.A, ELECTRICIDAD SERRANO SA, and #ElectroDos, dedicated their time and skills to build 8 new homes. 🛠️🏡 Each home was also equipped with a solar lamp, providing families with sustainable and safe lighting, aligning with our commitment to green energy solutions. 💡🌱 🎤 Sofía Yrigoyen provides a detailed explanation of the project and its impacts in the video below. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Techo for their valuable partnership. Our hope is to see even more volunteers, from our teams and our customer ecosystem, join us in these community impact initiatives in the coming years. 💪🏠 #ImpactMaker #ImpactStartsWithUs #Volunteering #SchneiderElectricArgentina #Sustainability #AccessToEnergy Special thanks to all our team members involved: Nicolas Bauso Román Marioli Ramiro Gallo Sofía Yrigoyen MARCELA ROMERO Mariano Beltrán Costa Vanina Iturria Rafael Segrera Milena Rosa Lili Herenger Marie Boutonnet
