This resource guide was initially developed as part of the Middle-Skill STEM Pathways Initiative, generously funded by the Helmsley Charitable Trust.
Jobs for the Future (JFF) staff Dr. Barbara Endel and Lexie Waugh, provided the leadership and technical assistance for this important network of 17 colleges building STEM guided pathways. This project is being revised in 2021-22 as part of the College’s Equitable Pathways and Retention work with the Aspen Institute. We hope you find this resource guide helpful.
