STEM Initiatives

NTSA is focused on filling our workforce pipeline with prospects who are better prepared, more confident and highly engaged to take on careers in the Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) fields, particularly those in our industry. As such, NTSA recognizes the critical importance of engaging students early in hands-on STEM activities while supporting educators who are our front line in shaping and building our future workforce.
