PepsiCorps - Putting Business Skills to Work for Good
About the Webinar
PepsiCorps is a month-long international experience that provides PepsiCo associates the opportunity to leverage their business skills and expertise to address a societal challenge. In October 2011, PepsiCo sent its inaugural PepsiCorps team to Ghana to help a local community expand access to clean water. Is this a business advantage for PepsiCo or just a nice thing to do? Why water? How is the average employee affected? Hear answers to these questions and more, as well as tips for getting a program like this off the ground at your organization.
