At Verizon, we communicate our commitment to economic development in a variety of ways. We invest in community partnerships that focus on workforce development  -- supporting training programs that prepare young people and adults to enter and become productive members of our workforce. We work with the Chamber of Commerce to support programs that bring businesses and jobs to the community. And we work with colleges and universities to recruit and develop talented employees from diverse backgrounds. Our strong commitment to diversity extends to our supplier relationships. Supplier Diversity  helps to stimulate economic growth. By including Minority, Women, Veterans, and Persons with Disability-owned business enterprises (MW/DV BEs) in our supplier chain, we contribute to the economic prosperity of the communities we serve.
