Many Connecticut adults and young people are struggling to find good jobs because they do not have the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills employers are looking for. At the same time, Connecticut’s high-tech employers need a skilled workforce ready to meet the demands of the 21st century global economy.
CT STEM Jobs is a project of the Connecticut Workforce Development Council (the association formed by the state’s five Workforce Investment Boards) and is funded by the US Department of Labor. CT STEM Jobs is focused on preparing prospective employees for new careers in STEM-related fields such as advanced manufacturing, engineering, information technology, and energy.
Whether you are an employer, an educator, or an individual looking to build a better future, CT STEM Jobs can help you. To learn how, register with ctstemjobs.org or contact the STEM Coach in your region.
