“Science,Technology, Engineering or Math, or STEM, is critical to our economic development success in the coming years. The vast majority of jobs we expect in the region over the next 5 years will require STEM skills. The companies coming here expect to have an available workforce and most employees will need basic STEM skills to fill the positions offered. If we cannot meet these workforce needs the companies will have to go somewhere else, as available workforce is the top selection criteria for companies considering a relocation.”
-Mike Kazmierski, President and CEO Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN)
