— President Barack Obama, March 23, 2015“Most STEM-literate students follow more regular non-technical careers but with a rich STEM knowledge that can give them a competitive advantage in this increasingly complex highly connected world. Becoming STEM literate can help any career path… Many apparently non-STEM jobs have become STEM jobs, especially in the trades.” [1]

● STEM education is only needed by future scientists FALSE“‘There’s huge holes developing in manufacturing, in aerospace, and in the maritime workforce, and that’s all STEM’.. Marie Kurose, the workforce development program manager at the Port of Seattle, said [one of our summer’s internship program’s goals is to] identify students with some experience in STEM and introduce them to [maritime] jobs they might be interested in as adults. ” [1]
“Engagement in STEM subjects helps students develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills. These skills are so universal, in fact, that [recent statistics indicate] that about three-quarters of the people with a bachelor’s degree in STEM fields are not working in those professions. Many non-STEM employers are poaching STEM-qualified job candidates because they are more creative and collaborative than their non-STEM counterparts.” [2]

● “Giving Back” is Great for Employee Engagement/Retention○ Employee engagement/satisfaction is much higher (360 reviews+NPS)
○ Employee retention rate is 2x as long (as non STEM outreach offices)
○ Watering the community’s STEM grassroots = “Pay It Forward” (future talent)
Tip: Host not only STEM, but community causes your people are passionate about
WARNING: Be sure not to “burn out” key employees on doing events. Do check-upsand poll people on feelings, ideas, causes, etc 59
