education overview
ExxonMobil has a long history of supporting and improving educational programs. In the developed world, we target math and science education because a basic understanding of these subjects is increasingly important in today’s highly competitive, technology-driven world. In developing countries, basic education is necessary to spur development and economic growth. In 2007, we directed more than $69.7 million to education worldwide.
We recognize the essential role that proficiency in math and science plays in the energy business, and in facilitating human progress more generally.
Our global education initiative, Educating Women & Girls, strives to provide and improve educational and training opportunities for women and girls in the developing countries where we live and work.
ExxonMobil supports a wide variety of higher education programs that encourage students — particularly minorities and women — to pursue math and science-related degrees.
Each summer, ExxonMobil sponsors the Green Team youth employment program. This program places students in environmental, beautification and construction projects at public parks and economically depressed neighborhoods throughout the United States.
The ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program provides college students with an eight-week paid summer internship at a wide range of non-profit community organizations, and encourages non-profit service among students who may one day be the community leaders of the future.
