Arctic Directory: APICC supports engineering through education partnership
The Alaska Process Industry Careers Consortium said Nov. 16 that in conjunction with the University of Alaska statewide system it has reached an agreement to collaborate with the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development and the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development to plan, develop and support access to engineering academies for public high school students in Alaska. This initiative will help build a pipeline of highly qualified Alaskans to enter careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics — the so-called STEM fields. The University of Alaska is working to double its annual number of students graduating with engineering degrees. APICC has an 11-year history and over a decade of strategic alliances with Alaska industry, business, education, trade associations and labor. For more information visit www.apicc.org.
