The Need for a STEM-Ready Workforce

“The world needs a workforce of skilled science and technology innovators to address the most pressing global challenges of the coming century—climate change, food shortages, exponential increases in non-communicable diseases, energy shortages, and more—yet, this demand is going unmet. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that by 2018 some 75% of occupations will be middle- or high-skilled, with the majority of these jobs requiring an education in STEM subjects.” – The Global STEM Alliance of New York Academy of Sciences

“STEM education is the key to innovation and economic growth  in this digitally connected world, where we are surrounded by technology and innovations.” – UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization)

STEM education is “…the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math instruction, combined in classroom learning with real-world experiences to provide students with both the technical and personal professional skills they need to succeed.” – The Global STEM Paradox, The New York Academy of Sciences, 2015

“By the time our students reach 6th, grade, they have made a conscious decision whether or not they will be ‘good’ at math and science” – Jonathan W. Gerlach in Education Week Teacher

“The talent power needed for global economic growth comes from men and women armed with STEM skills – advanced knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.” – Where Will all the STEM Talent Come From? Accenture Institute for High Performance

“With the help of iCarnegie’s STEM curriculum, my students have developed logical and analytical thinking.” – Jyoti Siwach, Math, robotics, and gaming teacher, Manav Rachna International School – Gurgaon, India

“For STEM educational technology to reach its greatest potential, it needs to be better integrated into an instructional system that include instructional delivery, ongoing assessments, appropriate interventions and tracking of outcomes and learning.” – New Vision for Education, Unlocking the Potential of Technology, World Economic Forum 2015

“STEM is Everywhere. Our Nourishment, our safety, our homes and neighborhoods, our relationships with family and friends, our health, our jobs, our leisure are all profoundly shaped by technological innovation and the discoveries of science.” – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math in the National Interest : A Strategic Approach, Australian Government, Office of the Chief Scientist, July 2013
