Fueled by our nation's focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and U.S. competitiveness, Career and Technical Education (CTE) is emerging as a systematic platform for education-industry collaboration and exploration.

Our Discover STEM-CTE District event "roadshow" provides career options to members of those communities currently disenfranchised to our growing economy. Minority secondary and postsecondary students need to complete their education and find meaningful careers. Industry and government are both needing highly skilled workers for opportunities now unfilled. It is necessary for us to forge new and active partnerships to bridge this gap. ™

cooperative agreements to carry out this important work is based on the many Federal, State, and Local mandates to better educate our nation's populace on the importance of career exploration in STEM and CTE careers.

We are expecting stakeholder involvement and will facilitate inter-agency, inter-state participation to bring greater cost-effectiveness, economies of scale, access to external resources and greater political influence through strength in numbers.

Our belief is industry works best in concert with government and inclusion is the only escape from the economic crisis found in the heart of our most urban centers across the US.
