By 2025, 2 million jobs will go unfilled due to the lack of qualified STEM talent. The median wage of STEM professionals is almost double the wage of other industries, and yet, over 50% of high school students have never considered a career in STEM. School Connect is partnering with leading agencies and organizations to build a K-12 STEM pipeline for Arizona by connecting schools to STEM industry experts, resources and opportunities. Partners include ACEC, the American Council of Engineering Companies, the City of Phoenix, Arizona State University, Grand Canyon University, Blue Cross Blue Shied of Arizona, CORE Construction and many more.
