Student STEM Career Development
Growing FIRST Programs and STEM Opportunities for Students
Success in our modern economy demands a wide set of skills, including STEM knowledge, digital literacy, leadership, and strong problem-solving abilities. Field trip visits and hands-on learning opportunities can open pathways for young people by introducing them to emerging STEM-related careers. Providing exposure and engagement opportunities often sparks interest and can be a game-changer for students in rural communities who might otherwise not have access to the fast-growing STEM economy. Giving students a window on opportunities encourages them to develop workforce skills so they are better prepared to take on challenges and opportunities throughout their lives and careers and reach their full potential.
