STEM East Industry in Schools 2024: Building Our Future Workforce in Eastern NC! 💡

STEM East, an initiative by NC East Alliance, is focused on bridging education and workforce development across eastern North Carolina. This year, the Industry Cluster Institutes (Smart Agriculture, Healthcare, Aviation, Green Energy, Blue Economy, and BioPharma) brought together 250+ educators from 25 school districts to explore hands-on learning with nine local community colleges, all to inspire future career paths for students right here at home.

Teachers engaged in industry tours and workshops to deepen their understanding of local career opportunities for their students, from high-tech agriculture to healthcare and aviation.

By bringing together educators, regional industries, and community colleges, STEM East is ensuring that students in Eastern NC have accessible pathways to fulfilling careers, creating a brighter future for our region.

Thank you to all the educators, community colleges, and industry leaders who made this event a huge success!
