Then, find out more about the SOA national strategy at stemmopportunity.org/national-str....

#WorkforceDevelopmentMonth

Here are some approaches the strategy lays out:

• Informal learning opportunities through play
• Exposing children and families to STEMM careers through career fairs, presentations and work-based learning opportunities
• Experiential learning for students by developing partnerships with industry

From curiosity to career, the connection between STEMM education and the STEMM workforce is integral to SOA’s national strategy. Starting in early childhood, connecting with STEMM both in and out of school is essential to harnessing curiosity and opening pathways to future opportunities.

SOA has brought people and orgs together to:

⦁ create the U.S.’ first national strategy for STEMM progress and prosperity
⦁ turn strategy into action plans
⦁ get excited to dig into those plans!

How do you collaborate with the #STEM education and workforce community?
