STEM fields are at the forefront of nearly all the exciting modern developments, from the latest digital gadgets enabled by technology to ground-breaking scientific research. Another benefit of this progressive environment is the financial and social impact on the community. Skilled STEM workers are driving trends and innovations, which can create jobs and boost the economy. All these attributes appeal to eager, young graduates looking to make their mark. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif'><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif'>It&#8217;s where the jobs are.<\/span><\/b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif'> The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published a report on the 10 fastest-growing occupations through 2026.

Researching and uncovering new treatments, or even the cure, for a debilitating disease is only possible with skills gained through STEM learning. However, science isn&#8217;t the only STEM field that brings opportunities to make a difference in others&#8217; lives. A career in technology could mean helping a child hear or see for the first time using a specially constructed device, for example. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif'><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif'>It&#8217;s a stepping stone to dozens of industries.<\/span><\/b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif'> While STEM learning lends itself well to a large scope of career choices, that list is ever-expanding. In fact, most of today&#8217;s graduates find themselves hard-pressed to secure a position without some STEM training. Consider a seemingly distant field such as fashion, for example, where digital technologies enable design sketching, mathematic skills factor into creating patterns and some engineering knowledge is necessary for designing a runway show. <\/span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif'>One school district in Royal, Washington, is utilizing the program to raise academic achievement for students in the classroom and on state-mandated math tests.

However, it can also help with more general skills. Students typically follow processes in STEM programming and training, such as the scientific method, that give them a chance to work with other students, test hypotheses and find solutions. These challenges can often help in developing teamwork, leadership and other collaborative life skills. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making sure your kids are ready to take on the world as adults is arguably one of the most important roles of a parent.
