CULTURAL IMPACT
“ This is nothing new but it’ s really important to me that we give something back and engage,” John says.“ Growth is exponential, so it’ s so important that you build close links with communities and provide opportunities for people.”
At STACK, social impact initiatives have expanded significantly over the last two years, including its bee conservation projects in Italy and the Nordics and its partnership with STEM education programmes in Switzerland and the UK.
But the most ambitious programme to date is the STACK Academy. A skillsbased learning programme designed to reach groups that are often overlooked by the technology sector, the STACK Academy was originally put forward as a traditional apprenticeship scheme and has since evolved into its current form in response to feedback from potential participants.

“ The whole point of the academy is to target the harder to reach groups, the people who might not have the opportunities”
