The Consortium at Work: STEM College to Career Initiative
Since 2016, the Florida Consortium has been working to achieve a higher success rate of students entering the STEM field after high school who complete a university program and ultimately obtain a career in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
What People Say About the Consortium
“If we work together, we can achieve even greater things. When we looked at how we impact the state, we felt we could advance the success of our students if we work together.”
