Help us Bridge the STEM Job Gap! In an article published by the Washington Post referencing the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration, "STEM jobs are growing at three times the rate of others, and business owners frequently report that they can’t find enough qualified workers to fill necessary positions.
