It's a truism to say that today's students are tomorrow's leaders. But it's also a truth, which is why we dedicate ourselves to improving education around the world. The Intel® Education Initiative focuses on preparing today's teachers and students for tomorrow's demands by strengthening mathematics, science and engineering education worldwide.

	Leadership begins at home: In 2002, Chief Executive magazine listed Intel as one of the "Best Companies for Leaders." For an example of Intel leadership development at work, look no further than President and COO Paul Otellini. Paul came to Intel directly from graduate school in 1974 and moved up the ranks to his present position. Paul's career illustrates Intel's preference for developing managerial talent in-house rather than bringing in leaders from the outside. In fact, internal candidates make up 90% of managerial promotions. Says Paul, "When you have that kind of continuity, you have not just a depth of experience but a depth of interrelationships and comfort that's unparalleled in the industry."		Paul S. Otellini In 2002, Paul became Intel's fifth president and chief operating officer.
