Unlocking STEM Opportunities for Future Careers

According to the National Science Board, in 2019, the STEM workforce represented 23% of the total U.S. workforce. Notably, over half of STEM workers don't hold a bachelor’s degree and are prominent in sectors like health care (19%), construction trades (20%), installation and repair (21%), and production (14%). STEM workers experienced lower unemployment (2%) compared to non-STEM workers (4%) in 2019, with higher median earnings.

Our Approach

Through activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum, our programs empower students to apply their knowledge, solve problems, and lead their own learning. When students see the relevance of their education to their lives and careers, they become more engaged and successful.
