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.
From Spring 2016 though Summer 2017, Pathways had 133 interns employed and working at over 30 companies and organizations to learn about career opportunities in business and IT. Additional connections are being made and the plans are for even more students to be placed for 2018 at roles in IT, Business, Advanced Manufacturing and Design!
