Helping young people learn and thrive

Oracle Volunteers help students build skills for the future. AI is already part of how we learn, work, and solve problems, and volunteers help students understand how these tools show up in everyday life and future careers. Through Technovation, Oracle Volunteers support girls and young women as they use technology, entrepreneurship, and creative problem-solving to address real-world challenges. In collaboration with Junior Achievement, we’re helping students build career readiness, financial literacy, and workplace skills that prepare them for the future. And, in India, our partnership with Going to School helps young people build confidence, curiosity, and practical skills through hands-on learning experiences.

Promoting health and well-being

Oracle Volunteers come together in simple but powerful ways to support patients and promote health and well-being in their communities. Our teams regularly support blood donation drives, partnering with organizations such as the American Red Cross and Stanford Blood Center in the United States, and Bangalore Medical Services Trust and the Indian Red Cross Society in India. They also prepare meals for patients and help promote personal health literacy. In collaboration with Project C.U.R.E., volunteers in Kansas City and Nashville spent 300 hours preparing medical supplies for shipment to hospitals and clinics in resource-limited countries.

Helping our neighbors in need

At home and around the globe, Oracle Volunteers show how individual acts of service can make a collective impact. That commitment is grounded in local partnerships—from packing and distributing meals at food banks to organizing collection drives supporting youth and families. In Sunland Park, New Mexico, Oracle Volunteers’ work with Casa de Peregrinos supported more than 500 families in the region through the distribution of 30,000 pounds of food, 60% of which was fresh produce. In India, work with Indian Roots Foundation provided students with essential supplies to facilitate learning. And in Japan, work with The Ikushiba! Project helped create and care for community green spaces, where people can gather, connect, and feel a sense of belonging.

Action to protect our planet

Around the world, Oracle Volunteers work to protect beaches, waterways, and coastal ecosystems through hands-on environmental projects. By removing waste from the shoreline and collecting pollution data with Los Angeles Waterkeeper, volunteers contributed to broader efforts to protect marine habitats and better address the sources of coastal pollution. They also engage in citizen science, helping advance global research and conservation efforts at scale. In FY26, more than 1,500 Oracle Volunteers supported 51 projects with the Adler Planetarium, driving initiatives such as Penguin Watch across Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, Shark Spy in New Zealand, Beluga Bits in Canada, and Chimp&See in Africa.

Employee matching gifts

We support our employees’ philanthropy by matching their personal donations to eligible charitable organizations around the world. We matched US$2.9M in employee donations in fiscal year 2026. The program helps employees extend the impact of their personal giving in communities around the world.

Disaster relief

When a disaster occurs, we run relief campaigns and match employees’ donations. In fiscal year 2026, through the combination of employee donations and the company match, we raised US$320K for disaster relief and recovery in response to humanitarian and natural disasters. These efforts help provide critical support to communities affected by disasters and humanitarian crises. The fund reflects our commitment to supporting one another when unexpected challenges arise.

Oracle Cares

Oracle Cares is an employee assistance fund that enables employees to make donations to support colleagues in times of adversity. In fiscal year 2026, the fund provided 55 hardship grants totaling US$143K to help employees recover from natural disasters, loss of a loved one, and serious injury or illness.

Embracing new skills

In a period of rapid change, continuous learning helps our people stay ready for what’s next. We’re helping employees expand their AI fluency and use AI in practical ways to improve productivity and free up time for higher-value work.

Our AI Career Coach provides personalized guidance to help employees set career goals, identify skills to develop, and create actionable learning plans. We also help employees strengthen human skills—including judgment, creativity, communication, collaboration, and adaptability—that can open doors to new opportunities across the company.

Continuous learning and development

We’re committed to helping employees expand their skills, advance their careers, and adapt as business and technology evolve. We invest in continuous learning and development to help our people innovate, adapt, and grow, offering courses, labs, certifications, and a rich digital library to help them build skills in AI, business, leadership, sales, product, industry, and technology.

By helping employees build new skills and apply what they learn, we strengthen our ability to innovate and support both our customers and each other. That’s how we help our people build long, successful careers at Oracle.

The well-being of our employees matters

The health, safety, and well-being of our employees and their families is a top priority. We offer benefits, programs, and resources designed to support employees socially, physically, mentally, and financially.

These resources help employees care for themselves and their families, plan for the future, and navigate important moments at work and in life. Our focus on the well-being of our people helps us foster a workplace where they feel engaged, connected, and valued.

Accessibility

We’re committed to creating a workplace where all employees can succeed without digital or physical barriers. Our inclusive culture inspires our people to support one another through a variety of initiatives, including the Oracle Diverse Abilities Network, an employee resource group; Oracle Interpreter Services; a universal design approach in our workplaces; and a robust accessibility program that includes corporate accessibility standards for our products.

Education to opportunities

Oracle Academy offers educators free technology resources, including academic curriculum pathways, workshops, Education Bytes, Oracle Cloud, Oracle APEX, Oracle NetSuite, Oracle Primavera, and other learning resources. Oracle’s leadership in emerging technologies, the cloud, and artificial intelligence spurs Oracle Academy’s innovation-focused offerings.

Artificial intelligence learning resources

In alignment with Oracle’s AI leadership, Oracle Academy has introduced new generative AI workshops and AI Education Bytes, giving educators and students engaging ways to explore AI and build practical skills. Those resources are already inspiring real-world applications: In South Korea, one student used Oracle Academy resources to design a chatbot for HR professionals. Additionally, educators can hear from experts through the Oracle Academy Tech Chat podcast, which includes an episode exploring generative AI and Oracle APEX. Together, these free resources help students turn foundational AI knowledge into hands-on experience and prepare for what’s next.

Java and database curriculum

A robust academic curriculum can spark curiosity and imagination while building critical knowledge and skills. Oracle Academy’s free modular curriculum, designed by professional educators for educators, offers flexible learning pathways in Java and database technology that span from one semester to three years. Around the world, educators are bringing these resources to their students: An educator in Indonesia uses Java and database SQL resources in project-based courses, while a UK educator has drawn on Oracle Academy curriculum pathways, Oracle APEX, and other resources throughout his teaching career. Available in multiple languages and aligned with relevant standards and exams globally, the curriculum helps educators give students practical, engaging learning experiences.

Oracle Cloud access

Free access to Oracle Cloud through Oracle Academy saves educators time while giving students the flexibility to learn and build from anywhere. Through the Oracle Academy Cloud Program, higher education educators and students can teach, learn, explore, and develop in the cloud at no cost, without downloading or maintaining software. Students are putting that access into action worldwide: US students are building database, SQL, and generative AI skills, while students across French-speaking African countries explored Oracle Cloud, AI, and Oracle APEX at a hands-on bootcamp. In Luxembourg, Oracle experts guided students in experimenting with cloud-based Oracle Linux and Oracle Autonomous AI Database—bringing cloud technology directly into their learning experiences.

Oracle APEX accounts

Institutional members and their students can access Oracle APEX, Oracle’s cloud-based low-code development platform, free of charge for hands-on learning. Designed specifically for teaching, Oracle Academy APEX accounts support labs and applied practice alongside a database and APEX-focused curriculum. Around the world, educators and students are putting the platform to work: A database instructor in Thailand uses Oracle APEX to teach low-code development, Italian students used it to innovate during the Reboot Culture workshop series, and students in Nigeria showcased their innovation through the Future Innovation Competition.
