STEM East is consistently building a private/public network that can align the education and workforce pipeline within Eastern North Carolina. Through the network, private partners (industry and business leaders) gain the ability to communicate with educators, influence curriculum, introduce needed skill sets and contribute to student career pathways that will produce a quality workforce. Public partners (Educators) gain the experience and the communication connections necessary to develop curriculums around the established STEM attributes, expand their knowledge of economic workforce needs and create education pathways that have relevancy to “real world” economic needs.
