Community Engagement
Giving Back is in Our Nature & Our DNA
We are harnessing the power of intelligent infrastructure — where our collective technology, methods, and people can be a catalyst for that change. For years, we’ve all made an effort to volunteer our time and donate funds and resources to the communities we live and work in – both individually and as an organization.
Through Aligned Cares, we are further building on these efforts and collaborating more closely with our internal teams and stakeholders, as well as with customers, partners and prospects to give, volunteer, and create special engagement elements that drive meaningful impact on the world.
Education & Outreach
We believe that teaching younger generations about the value of trades and careers in critical facilities is a priority in our educational efforts. Providing opportunities for technicians to enter the data center industry via internship or full‐time employment are ongoing initiatives, as is increasing support of high school STEM programs.
Technical Training
We have championed various career development and upward mobility programs to provide facility operations training to existing personnel, creating an experienced talent pool of future technicians.
Internships
Aligned partners with educational institutions and industry organizations to sponsor interns at our data center campuses. These programs provide hands on learning in the field of data center operations.
Scholarships
Through its foundation partnership with iMasons, Aligned offers scholarships and substantial high quality professional certification discounts to students to help prepare them for success in digital infrastructure.
Military Recruitment
Aligned proudly partners with military agencies and recruiters to attract veteran candidates to our data centers. We are passionate about supporting the veteran community, which is a critical aspect of our team.
