Toyota has committed, through the Pledge to America’s Workers, to provide 200,000 workforce training opportunities over the next five years through apprenticeships, work-based learning opportunities, retraining, on-the-job training and other educational opportunities.
Toyota Motor North America launched a new virtual education platform. The virtual hub includes a series of free STEM-based lessons through Toyota USA Foundation partners, behind the scenes videos of Toyota’s R&D center in Michigan and the Toyota Research Institute, and virtual tours of the experience centers at Toyota’s manufacturing facilities in Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi and Texas. Toyota aims to increase STEM-based opportunities for underrepresented groups in the STEM field including women through its virtual center.
