The education and technology initiatives we support help keep our communities vibrant and prepare the workforce of tomorrow.
STEM careers are the future. But did you know that African Americans make up less than 5% of the STEM workforce in Illinois? ComEd is working to change that.
To celebrate Black History Month, ComEd is hosting Solar Spotlight. Students from around Chicagoland work alongside engineering mentors from ComEd and learn about renewable energy and STEM careers. Students are building portable solar suitcases that generate energy.
The suitcases are deployed to areas in need to power emergency lights, cell phones, and computers.

Since 2005, United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and Exelon-ComEd have partnered to deliver critical after-school services to nine Chicago Public School grammar and high schools committed to keeping students on track for graduation, improving course grades and building leadership and pro-social behaviors.
The Stay in School Initiative (View Press Release) brings new resources into communities experiencing some of the highest dropout rates in the city. Stay in School delivers a holistic menu of wrap-around services to 2,000 students annually, drawing in the students' families, building students' academic and career skills with corporate mentors, and keeps them on track for graduation and college. Exelon-ComEd employees volunteer to teach seven workshop- style Saturday classes at the Exelon-ComEd office in Chicago and mentor students as they gain confidence and explore their professional strengths, competing for future internship positions with the company. Over the last 8 years, Stay in School has served 14,560 students, ages 13-20. During the 2013-14 school year an additional 2,000 students will be served.
