During the next decade, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology estimates that U.S. industries will need one million more STEM graduates than the system is expected to produce. Despite the need, the U.S. Department of Education estimates that just 1 in 6 high school seniors are proficient in math and interested in pursuing STEM higher education or careers.
Given this challenge, STEM internship programs both at the college and high school level are becoming more important than ever to contribute to development of STEM career paths for students and to support the Massachusetts economy.

To connect local businesses and educational institutions around the common goal of growing  the STEM internship offering in our region, the MetroWest STEM Education Network and The Davis Companies will facilitate a panel discussion and a networking event to share current internship programs, discuss challenges faced by the business and education community and
foster innovative approaches and new partnerships.

The panel discussion will feature businesses that are currently offering internship programs at the college and high school level. Local businesses, educational institutions, including high schools, community colleges and four-year colleges and universities, local chambers of commerce and non-profit organizations are invited to attend and present their resources and programs during the networking event following the round table discussion.
