- Job Shadows
- Summer Internships
- Lunch 'n Learns
- Career Mentoring
Developing a sufficient number of students interested in pursuing STEM disciplines is going to be critical for companies moving forward. Pathways is a cultivating and a diverse population of students who want to pursue STEM careers! Our goal is to expose students to several industries and career paths so they understand the multitude of ways in which they could leverage their technical skills and thereby help them to find a path that will engage, interest and motivate them. For companies, this is a great way to begin developing the diverse talent pipeline of youth, that will be so critical as our industries grow, develop and evolve.
