The Siemens Foundation is a U.S.-based non-profit organization established in 1998 by Siemens AG. Its mission focuses on advancing workforce development, STEM education, and health equity to promote economic opportunity and social justice.
Key initiatives include the Careers Electric™ program, launched with a $9.25 million investment in North Carolina to train 25,000 individuals over 10 years for electrical careers in energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and related sectors. This supports growing demands from AI data centers and electrification. The Foundation has invested over $174 million in U.S. workforce training and previously sponsored prestigious programs like the Siemens Competition in math, science, and technology for high school students.
Affiliated with Siemens, it leverages corporate expertise through partnerships with educational institutions, government, and industry to address skills gaps, though it operates independently.
