Advancing a Jobs-Driven Economy is a compelling guide to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) educational and human capital requirements of our increasingly innovation-driven economy.

Aligning corporate, education, and community partners requires that we rethink and redesign the system that supports Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and workforce preparedness. What’s at stake? Nothing less than the sustainability of our schools, the innovative engines of our businesses, the prosperity of communities, and the global competitiveness of our economies. Advancing A Jobs Driven Economy is a call to action and provides the framework for how business, education, and communities can cultivate a sustainable pipeline of STEM talent
