1. Building a Strong STEM Workforce – Kim R Grimes
To remain competitive in the global economy, the United States must build a
strong workforce in STEM. But educators and policymakers face immense
challenges. In an earlier survey, majority of manufacturing companies noted that
students in public education system do not get sufficient preparation for them to
gain the math and science proficiency required so they can succeed in their
career. It is imperative we seize this opportunity and expand STEM employment
in the United States, for a variety of compelling reasons not the least of which is
improving our nation's competitiveness.

STEM Can Not Be Overstated - Kim R Grimes
As we beat the drum about the vital role of STEM in the 21st Century economy
and the highest quality jobs of the future, the importance of gender – specifically
of encouraging more girls to move into STEM fields – cannot be overstated.
Women with STEM jobs earn nearly one third more than their counterparts. Yet
women remain vastly underrepresented in the STEM workforce as well as among
STEM degree holders -- despite making up nearly half of the U.S. workforce and
half of the college-educated workforce. It is imperative we seize this opportunity
and expand STEM employment in the United States, for a variety of compelling
reasons not the least of which is improving our nation's competitiveness.
