SPONSORS IN EDUCATION

"Science, technology, engineering and math form the foundation of the global economy...“Yet, as the STEM Index suggests, if educational trends continue, fewer qualified candidates will be available to support growth in these areas. It’s critical to our business and the United States’ long term economic outlook that we inspire young people to engage in STEM and dedicate resources to supporting them throughout their academic lives.”

Our Sponsors In Education consists of private sector businesses, faith-based institutions, colleges and universities, state and local grantors, grass roots organizations, local businesses, and both for- and nonprofit organizations. Our collective goal is to increase access to Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and the Medical (STEMM) opportunities to include underrepresented and underserved youth.

To reach that goal, our sponsors provide continuous engagement opportunities that keep youth motivated to learn more. These alliances are critical in building the knowledge base needed to be career ready for the next generation of STEM jobs.
