Video: ADP recognizes three students for STEAM Awards
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[TEXT] When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, WIT was faced with how to give inspiring STEAM students scholarship awards virtually. Fake interviews were set up to lead the scholarship winners into believing they had one last interview before a decision was made. Their reactions were priceless.
[DESCRIPTION] Young women of color speak to administrators on video screens.
[MARIUM ZAFAR] I'm a student at Georgia Gwinnett College majoring in IT.
[EVE BARRETT] I'm an incoming senior at Agnes Scott. Right here right next to me is my mom.
[SANDY ALI] I am a senior at Georgia Gwinnett College majoring in information technology software development and minoring in business.
[MARIUM ZAFAR] I think I took like an intro to coding class, and I said, oh no, I can't do this. I was letting the environment influence me rather than letting my dreams or what I wanted to do influence me.
[SANDY ALI] When it comes to talking about WIT, it really helped me believe in myself when I was the only female in all my IT classes. I thought this, I'm in the wrong field. IT is not for me. And that's why WIT actually supported me and believed in me.
[MARIUM ZAFAR] So when I joined Women in Tech, I was just so excited to see women in tech, women in STEM, and that be something that was normalized. So I want to be able to show other girls you can also go into tech.
[EVE BARRETT] Women who look like me, women of color, young girls of color, letting them know that you can do whatever you set your mind to. You shouldn't let the statistics bother you. That's what I'm trying to do in pursuing STEAM.
[KANYATTA WALKER] Have to let you in on a tad bit of a little bit of the secret here. So this is kind of a hoax. We knew all along you were the scholarship winner. So let's just make it official. Congratulations.
[AISHA THOMAS PETIT] Congratulations.
[MARIUM ZAFAR] Did everybody know?
[LAUGHTER]
[MARIUM ZAFAR] Brianna, she knew ahead? Brianna, I'm going to text you after this and we're going to talk.
[KANYATTA WALKER]> Winner of the Women in Technology $5,000 scholarship from ADP is Eve Barrett. Congratulations.
[EVE BARRETT] Thank you.
[DESCRIPTION] Women smile and Eve hugs her mom.
[LAUGHTER]
[AISHA THOMAS PETIT] They made me do it, Eve. They made me do it.
[KANYATTA WALKER] Congratulations.
[SANDY ALI] Is that a joke?
[LAUGHTER]
For real?
[AISHA THOMAS PETIT] We're very serious.
[DESCRIPTION] Young woman clutches her face.
[SANDY ALI] Thank you so much. I appreciate you so much for believing in me and for believing my goals and my dreams and awarding me this scholarship. It’s very honoring.

[LOGO: ADP]
Hi. My name is Fred. I'm with a global product technology organization with ADP. I was a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps for six years, and I've been with ADP for 22 years.
[TEXT: Fred, Application & Technology Specialist]
I am a end user computing specialist, so we take care of the associate and all of their productivity. One of my primary roles is taking care of our senior executives in the building. We have two XCOM members, and my role is to make sure that they don't have any technology issues, and if they do, to resolve them.
One of the things I had missed from the military was camaraderie, where the people that you work with every day really care about you and want to make you succeed. Here at ADP, I have found a very similar environment of camaraderie where people really care about each other and about the environment and the community as well as wanting people to succeed in ADP.

Video: ADP Women in STEM - Diverse Backgrounds
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[LOGO: ADP, Always Designing for People]
[TEXT: Women in STEM]
[TEXT: Brianne, Manager - Product Management]
So how I found my way into a tech career, it was completely by accident. I went to college at NYU for classical theater. And all I ever wanted to do was perform Shakespeare. And so I actually just reached out to a friend one day, going, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm looking at my expenses for the month. I'm looking what I bring in each month. And I don't want to move back in with my parents. I can't do that. Do you have any advice? And she was working at an ad tech company. She gave me this opportunity of a really entry level position in sales operations.
[TEXT: Amira, Manager - Apps Development]
When growing up, even in high school, that's what I majored in. And I knew that I would go through college and study computer science. It was a no-brainer for me. And I don't know why, to be honest, because my environment was not very tech driven or anything. But I was just drawn to it.
[TEXT: Roopy, Sr. Director - HR]
I actually started out in law school. So, once I was in, I didn't quite feel like it was a good match. I had a mentor, actually, who was the head of HR for a security company. So we had quite a few conversations. I got to learn more about what HR involves and the different aspects. Never a boring day, that's for sure. And so hearing him talk about how many different components of HR there are and the fact that you can either be a generalist or you can be a specialist, there were endless opportunities within this space.
[TEXT: Rachel, Manager - Project Management]
I just always enjoyed math. And I remember being in sixth grade, and I remember them putting us in a room. And we were able to start programming, and it was the ability to actually program. And that excited me. And I always went towards the direction of scientific in nature. So I was encouraged to go to school for engineering.
[TEXT: Gargi, Senior Tech Project Manager]
When I was in high school, there were two things that created so much news. I grew up in India in a very small town. And in '97, IBM's Deep Blue computer actually defeated Garry Kasparov. And then there was also a lot of conversation about Y2K bug. And to me, both those topics were very fascinating. If a computer could actually defeat a world chess champion, for me, the possibilities seemed so unlimited. And I decided I was leaving to pursue computer science and engineering. I did do that and ended up working in technology.

Video: ADP at Grace Hopper
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[TEXT: Jyotsna, Lead Product Manager] As women, the way I feel that-- I would be a very different person if only I had known about Grace Hopper many, many years ago. The value I think from attending Grace Hopper is the amount of exposure that you can get by attending a conference and the amount of people that you can network while there, but that you can learn. The learnings are not just from books, and not from degrees and certificates-- they all have their values-- it's not about that, but it's about you, your own career journey because you are unique. Your path is what you're going to leave your footprint on and it needs to be specific to you. So these exposures of what's out there and there are so many of us-- 25,000 people attending the Grace Hopper in Orlando, Florida, and women in tech-- 25,000-- that number is mind-boggling, and it gives us an opportunity to help make a difference by sharing what we do amazingly well at ADP. So many of us here-- we're all in this planet together-- and we can all learn and grow individually. So I see us all as individual stars of excellence. So, individual leaders of excellence and that's whom I hope to meet, and inspire, and learn as well. So-- pretty excited by that.
