About this event
Please join us for the Postsecondary Pathways Innovation Lab, Hosted by UMBC
March 29 & 30, 2023 in Baltimore, MD
Over the last decade, the competition for STEM talent has intensified across nearly every industry. This paradigm requires employers to make strategic investments to meet their hiring needs and upskill their incumbent workforce. Postsecondary institutions can play a critical role in this ecosystem developing mechanisms to support nearly every aspect of the nation’s education and workforce development systems. In our first Postsecondary Pathways Innovation Lab since March 2020, we will engage members in an interactive workshop to showcase existing and explore new innovations that help advance students into STEM careers and expand opportunities for individuals already in the workforce.
Topics to be explored include:
- Engaging K-12 stakeholders and corporate employers with postsecondary institutions
- Higher education-industry partnerships to advance regional STEM workforce needs
- Supporting workforce readiness through diverse work-based learning experiences
- Authentic undergraduate research as a driver of STEM engagement
- Developing sustainable partnerships with employers
- Advancing inclusive cultures and diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility as a mindset
