Survey
Please share your thoughts with us so we can use your input to refine PK-12 and higher education so that we can better align with workforce needs now and in the future.
The NET-STEM Works Survey project will assess characteristics that employers in NE TN are looking for in their entry level STEM hires. The results will inform K-12, higher education, and industries in our region. The goal is the findings of this project will enable organizations to better align educational supports and programming with the skills and knowledge that employers in STEM fields need right now.
The project was led by TJ Jones and Miranda Chen Musgrove, and was supported by the NE TN STEM Innovation Hub, with funds from TSIN.
