Lubbers says, in addition to growing the number of STEM teachers preparing the pipeline, the state and employers need to focus on “skilling up” working adults.
Lubbers expects the Commission for Higher Education’s redesign of its former work-study program to increase the number of students pursuing STEM internships.
