The purpose of our collaboration is to inspire and equip future innovators with the skills and tools necessary to compete in a growing, global economy. Career opportunities in STEM fields are exploding, in fact, STEM occupations are projected to grow over two times faster than the total for all occupations over the next decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Each initiative uniquely supports STEM skill development and education, making these subjects more accessible to students and ultimately building the capacity to solve the world’s future challenges through today’s learning.
