This year\u2019s campaign focused on empowering future workers by expanding access to technology, skills, and economic opportunities in disconnected communities, and HP&#8217;s volunteers showed up in a big way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign is a reflection of what HP genuinely believes: that its employees have knowledge worth sharing, and that giving back can mean giving your expertise. Partnering with CareerVillage, HP has found a way to turn that belief into something tangible: career guidance, delivered at scale, to young people who need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">40 Days of Doing Good: How it came together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year&#8217;s campaign offered HP volunteers more ways to engage than ever before: <strong>four Advice-a-thons spanning three time zones, two New Coach volunteer opportunities<\/strong>, <strong>engagement from top HP leaders, and record-breaking impact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign kicked off in person at HP&#8217;s Houston office with HP\u2019s interim CEO and other senior leaders inviting employees to answer career questions, setting the tone for an inspiring 40 days that followed! By the end of 40 days, the results spoke for themselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>400+ new HP volunteers<\/strong> registered on <a style=\"color: #865cab\" ;=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.careervillage.org\/\"><strong>CareerVillage.org<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1,000+ pieces of advice<\/strong> posted by HP volunteers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>122,000+ reads<\/strong> on that advice\u2026and counting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That last number is the one that matters most. Every read represents a young person, who may not have access to a professional network, mentor, or career guidance, finding an answer they needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n\/* CareerVillage editorial pull-quote \u2014 brand gradient *\/\n.cv-pullquote {\n  margin: 40px 0;\n  padding: 36px 40px;\n  border-radius: 12px;\n  background: linear-gradient(135deg, #3a3147 0%, #5d4d7f 100%); \/* CV purple *\/\n  color: #ffffff;\n  font-family: inherit;\n  contain: layout style;\n  isolation: isolate;\n}\n.cv-pullquote__rule {\n  display: block;\n  width: 56px;\n  height: 2px;\n  background: #a7f0e0;              \/* CV mint accent \u2014 swap for #ff8051, #d04599, or #dca029 *\/\n  margin: 0 0 26px;\n  border: none;\n  padding: 0;\n}\n.cv-pullquote__quote {\n  font-size: 18px;\n  line-height: 1.5;\n  color: #ffffff;\n  margin: 0 0 28px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  letter-spacing: -0.005em;\n}\n.cv-pullquote__footer {\n  display: flex;\n  align-items: center;\n  gap: 14px;\n}\n.cv-pullquote__avatar {\n  flex-shrink: 0;\n  width: 48px;\n  height: 48px;\n  border-radius: 50%;\n  overflow: hidden;\n}\n.cv-pullquote__avatar img {\n  width: 100%;\n  height: 100%;\n  object-fit: cover;\n  display: block;\n  aspect-ratio: 1 \/ 1;\n}\n.cv-pullquote__bylinegroup {\n  display: block;\n  min-width: 0;\n}\n.cv-pullquote__byline {\n  display: block;\n  font-size: 12px;\n  letter-spacing: 0.12em;\n  text-transform: uppercase;\n  color: #ffffff;\n  margin: 0 0 6px;\n  font-weight: 500;\n}\n.cv-pullquote__role {\n  display: block;\n  font-size: 13px;\n  color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75);\n  line-height: 1.5;\n  font-weight: 400;\n}\n@media (max-width: 600px) {\n  .cv-pullquote { margin: 32px 0; padding: 28px 24px; }\n  .cv-pullquote__quote { font-size: 19px; }\n  .cv-pullquote__rule { margin-bottom: 22px; }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"cv-pullquote\" role=\"blockquote\">\n  <hr class=\"cv-pullquote__rule\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n  <p class=\"cv-pullquote__quote\">Partnerships work best when they make it easy for people to show up in a meaningful way.

CareerVillage created a &#8220;Share Coach with Students&#8221; toolkit to guide volunteers through their first session, with prompting suggestions and reflection questions to help students get the most out of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amplifying impact: Voices from HP Leadership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To extend the campaign&#8217;s reach even further, senior HP executives answered leadership and career questions directly on CareerVillage.org, putting their expertise in front of the millions of learners who visit the platform each year. Their responses are the kind of direct, specific guidance that young people rarely get access to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n\/* CareerVillage answer carousel \u2014 compact, isolated from theme styles *\/\n.cv-carousel {\n  margin: 40px 0;\n  font-family: inherit;\n  contain: layout style;\n  isolation: isolate;\n}\n.cv-carousel__header {\n  margin: 0 0 20px;\n}\n.cv-carousel__heading {\n  font-size: 22px;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  color: #433a53;\n  margin: 0 0 6px;\n  letter-spacing: -0.01em;\n}\n.cv-carousel__subhead {\n  font-size: 14px;\n  color: #5a5a5a;\n  margin: 0;\n  line-height: 1.5;\n}\n.cv-carousel__viewport {\n  position: relative;\n}\n.cv-carousel__track {\n  display: flex;\n  gap: 20px;\n  overflow-x: auto;\n  scroll-snap-type: x mandatory;\n  scroll-behavior: smooth;\n  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;\n  padding: 4px 0 8px;\n  scrollbar-width: none;\n}\n.cv-carousel__track::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none;
