BHEF STEM Higher Education & Workforce Project: Maryland Pilot
BHEF has launched the STEM Higher Education and Workforce Project to forge new strategic partnerships among business and industry, higher education, and government to strengthen STEM higher education and enhance the STEM workforce. The project seeks to: identify and encourage the scaling of programs, policies, and strategies that deepen the relevance and content of college-level STEM learning; increase enrollment, persistence, and successful graduation of students, particularly women and underrepresented minorities; and increase the alignment of undergraduate STEM education and workforce needs.
At the regional level, BHEF's first regional project, in concert with the University System of Maryland and businesses with operations in Maryland, pilots strategies designed to increase enrollment, persistence, and successful graduation of undergraduate students, particularly among women and under-represented minorities in the STEM disciplines, and strengthen pathways into STEM careers in Maryland.
