In 2015, Entergy launched a $5 million, 5-Year Workforce Readiness Initiative within the four-state Entergy Region to include the two following programs:
for improving the quality of the existing talent pool through development or expansion of programs that produce trained, certified workers. The population served will be unemployed/underemployed adults. Grants ranging from $50k to $250k annually will be awarded to community colleges, universities, vocational training programs, workforce commissions and/or economic development organizations.
for improving the talent pipeline by ensuring that students graduate from high school with the necessary skills to transition successfully to career or college/secondary training. The population served will be high school students and unemployed/underemployed young adults age 21 and under. Under this program grants ranging from $50k to $250k annually will be awarded to public schools and NGOs.
We strive to be a leading corporate citizen and are proud to have been named in 2019 to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index. This was the 18th consecutive year Entergy was included on either the World or North America index or both. In 2017, for the eighth time, the company was named to CR Magazine’s ranking of “Top 100 Best Corporate Citizens”, and for the second consecutive year, Entergy appeared in the top five in the area of philanthropy and community support. CR Magazine, America’s leading voice on corporate social responsibility, rates companies annually for performance in seven categories: environment, climate change, human rights, employee relations, governance, philanthropy and financial performance.
