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.
The U.S. Dept. of Labor forecasts that the automotive industry is expected to add 237,500 new jobs and have a 30 percent growth rate through 2020
We offer a variety of training products for this career cluster including:
- Automotive Technology and Diesel Engine programs from LJ Create
- SimSpray virtual reality paint spraying for Collision Repair programs
- Simlog Heavy Equipment Simulators for training heavy equipment operators
- OilTec Port Crane Simulators
- Transas Maritime Simulation & Training
