Recently, I was sitting with several dozen inner-city teens, talking with them about college and careers. It was a free-wheeling conversation. I was peppered with questions–including, “How can I get your job?”
最近，我和幾十名市內(nèi)貧民區(qū)的青少年在一起，暢談大學(xué)和職業(yè)，討論的氛圍非常自由。他們的問題幾乎讓我應(yīng)接不暇，其中包括“我怎樣才能進(jìn)德勤呢？”

I left absolutely convinced that as a result of that session, at least one kid who otherwise would have missed going to college will, in fact, be going. Let me tell you, it made my day, if not my week.
那次談話后，我很確定，至少有一名原本可能會(huì)放棄上大學(xué)的孩子去上學(xué)，事實(shí)上，他本來就要放棄了。讓我告訴你，能幫助他們，我真的是很高興。

And it reminded me of an often overlooked way to meet people’s needs, particularly in these hard times as non-profit organizations are seeing double-digit drops in funding–as demand goes through the roof. I’m talking about skills-based volunteerism. That is, donating high-value, professional skills–for free.
那次談話讓我想起了一種常被忽略的助人之道，尤其是在目前這種困難時(shí)期，非營(yíng)利性機(jī)構(gòu)的資金來源正面臨著兩位數(shù)的下滑，而需求卻達(dá)到了最高限度。我所說的助人之道就是以技術(shù)為基礎(chǔ)的志愿服務(wù)，即免費(fèi)提供高價(jià)值的專業(yè)技術(shù)服務(wù)。

Our company, Deloitte, recently conducted a survey on corporate volunteering. We found that 91% of respondents agreed that skills-based volunteering would add value to training and development, especially in fostering leadership and business skills. But only 16% of companies offer skills-based volunteering as an option for employees. Only one out of six.
我們德勤最近做了一次關(guān)于企業(yè)志愿服務(wù)的調(diào)查。調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，91%的受訪者都認(rèn)為，以技術(shù)為基礎(chǔ)的志愿服務(wù)能為培訓(xùn)和發(fā)展增加價(jià)值，對(duì)于增強(qiáng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力和商業(yè)技巧更是如此。但目前只有16%的公司將以技術(shù)為基礎(chǔ)的志愿服務(wù)作為員工的選擇，僅占1/6。

Given the obvious need out there and also given President Obama’s impassioned call for national service, we’ve gone way beyond surveying about volunteerism. We’ve pledged $50 million in services–that’s right, $50 million worth of our employees’ time–over three years to help non-profit organizations boost their effectiveness.
目前需求非常明顯，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)也慷慨激昂地呼吁增加國(guó)家服務(wù)，我們公司不僅僅停留在調(diào)查志愿服務(wù)的層面。我們已經(jīng)承諾，在未來三年內(nèi)，將提供價(jià)值5000萬美元的員工服務(wù)，幫助非營(yíng)利性組織更有效地進(jìn)行工作。
