This project increases the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce by recruiting, mentoring, and supporting academically talented but financially needy students through degree completion, and partnering with employers to facilitate placement. This is accomplished by four objectives: Improve educational opportunities for students by awarding 40 scholarships annually for $2,500 each over a four-year period; Increase retention of students to degree achievement by creating supportive environments through changes in organizational culture and practices; Improve student support programs by providing mentoring, tutoring, study-groups, career counseling, internships, and placement services; Increase the STEM workforce by implementing the project collaboratively with industry partners to increase the number of well-educated and skilled employees in technical areas of national need. The Intellectual Merit of the project is to advance knowledge of effective practices that prepare students to pursue STEM careers from community colleges, by innovatively integrating student support and placement and providing students with skills to improve their academic competitiveness. The Broader Impact of the project will increase the economic diversity of the STEM workforce.

该项目通过招聘，指导和支持学术上有才华但经济上有需要的学生完成学位，并与雇主合作以促进就业，从而增加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力。这是通过四个目标来实现的：通过在四年的时间内每年颁发40个奖学金，每个奖学金2,500美元，改善学生的教育机会;通过改变组织文化和做法，创造支持性的环境，提高学生对学位成就的保留率;通过提供指导，辅导，学习小组，职业咨询，实习和安置服务，改善学生支持计划;通过与行业合作伙伴合作实施该项目，增加STEM劳动力，以增加国家需要的技术领域中受过良好教育和技术熟练的员工数量。该项目的智力价值是通过创新性地整合学生支持和安置，并为学生提供技能，以提高他们的学术竞争力，从而促进学生从社区学院从事STEM职业的有效实践的知识。该项目的更广泛影响将增加STEM劳动力的经济多样性。
