Meeting Regional STEMM Workforce Needs in the Wake of COVID-19: A Virtual Workshop Series

Completed

Regional focus

North America

Topics

The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming the global economy and significantly shifting workforce demand. What is unclear is how STEMM workforce demands have changed and if there is an opportunity to upskill, retrain, and certify a significant portion of displaced workers to meet new and shifting labor demands. This project identified five regions across the US (Birmingham, AL; Boston, MA; Richmond, VA; Riverside, CA, and Wichita, KS) to host workshops highlighting promising practices that communities can utilize to respond urgently and appropriately to their STEMM workforce needs. Following the regional workshops, a final workshop presenting a national perspective was held.
