Communities

Leaders | Neighbors | Educators

TI’s community engagement activities are extensive in Texas, where the largest concentrations of our operations are located. Globally, we design community outreach programs to meet the unique needs of those locations.

Leaders

We consult with civic leaders to develop and implement programs that promote education and health and human services. We often work at the grassroots level, partnering with educational institutions and service agencies to ensure that community members, especially children, receive the education and care they need.

We keep community leaders and local government officials apprised of our community development and involvement activities through the quarterly TI Citizenship Update e-newsletter.

Neighbors

Our employees and retirees around the world regularly volunteer their time and professional expertise to serve community organizations and support local programs to enhance neighborhoods. We share common concerns with our adjacent communities globally, including quality of life and the safety of our operations.

Through our regular presence in community activities, philanthropic support, and personal and electronic feedback mechanisms, we maintain an ongoing dialogue with our neighbors.

Educators

TI continually engages with educators at the K-12 and university levels as part of its strategy to increase student participation in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curricula, as well as STEM teaching expertise and technological research. For example, we:
  • Support innovative teaching through a variety of TI-supported programs.
  • Offer periodic opportunities for educators to provide feedback on new and existing education-related business products and services.
  • Provide significant professional development resources and math and science content for educators through our Education Technology programs, conferences and tools.
  • Reinforce the value of higher education and showcase various STEM programs and careers at our annual Take Your Daughter/Son to Work Day.
