Why STEM-H?
• #1 issue facing Virginia businesses was STEM-H workforce development and education
• Job Growth Is Nearly Double That Of Non-STEM-H Occupations
• Wages Are 66% Higher in STEM Careers When Compared to General Occupations
• 13.8% of all the jobs to be filled in the next 4 years are expected to be STEM-H.
• Virginia needs to graduate 28% more STEM-H students to reach the national average
