Giving Students a Head Start With Our Adopt iT Program in India
It was with enormous pride that I saw first-hand the impact of the invaluable work of Temenos volunteers in India – supplying school children with modern IT equipment and encouraging them to stay in school as part of our global CSR program, Adopt iT.
Employee Engagement and Volunteering
Our Temenos employees volunteer their time and skills during the initial phase to help with the setup of the computer labs, as well as throughout the year, by providing basic IT skills training to the students, as well as tutoring to those who need it.
