Community Event Strategy

Our commitment is to bring relevant thought leaders to students and educators, where they live. We are utilizing a systematic and strategic outreach approach to engage stakeholders in all of our 40 districts across the nation. Research has time and again proven that our great nation is at risk on a variety of levels. We recognize that immediate, innovative and on-going solutions are needed to solve our most difficult social, economic national and global competitiveness problems. For that reason the National Minority Technology Council is offering opportunities to business, government, education, and community leaders to join us as we embark upon what we believe will be a ground breaking and transformative integrated STEM-CTE event series.

Conference Purpose

STEM related Career and

Technical Education

opportunities

Fueled by our nation's focus on STEM (science,

technology, engineering and math) and U.S.

competitiveness, Career and Technical Education

(CTE) is emerging as a systematic platform for

education-industry collaboration and exploration.

Our Discover STEM-CTE District event

"roadshow" provides career options to members

of those communities currently disenfranchised

to our growing economy. Minority secondary and

postsecondary students need to complete their

education and find meaningful careers. Industry

and government are both needing highly skilled

workers for opportunities now unfilled. It is

necessary for us to forge new and active

partnerships to bridge this gap.

National Leadership Sponsorship Program utilizing Public/Private Cooperative Agreements Our recommendation for public/private

cooperative agreements to carry out this

important work is based on the many Federal,

State, and Local mandates to better educate our

nation's populace on the importance of career

exploration in STEM and CTE careers.

We are expecting stakeholder involvement and

will facilitate inter-agency, inter-state

participation to bring greater cost-effectiveness,

economies of scale, access to external resources

and greater political influence through strength in

numbers.

Our belief is industry works best in concert with

government and inclusion is the only escape from

the economic crisis found in the heart of our most

urban centers across the US.

The National Minority Technology Council’s Looking Forward Research &

Development Program has developed a new look at the convergence

between STEM and Career and Technical Education. Our “STEM is in

everything” approach builds relevance to a Cradle to Career approach.
