Community College students now have access to STEM
Advantage's Transfer-Focused Career Pathways Program
LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- STEM
Advantage, a non-profit advancing equity through education and
career development with a focus on women and underserved
communities, announces early success with the community college
Transfer-Focused STEM Career Pathways program. Students with
Computer Science and Computer Information Systems majors are
offered professional development, industry career panels and
mentoring circles that help students understand careers in a STEM
field with a path to transfer and graduate from a
4-year college with a STEM Degree.
With support from a College Futures Foundation grant, the
Transfer-Focused STEM Career Pathways Program is now expanded to
students at East Los Angeles College (ELAC) and Pasadena
City College. By engaging with this program, students are
equipped with the necessary tools and support to navigate the
complexities of higher education and embark on successful careers
in STEM.
"I really appreciate everything that STEM Advantage is doing
for us. You always go out of your way to help us connect with
people to help us find the next step. I also like that we get
to talk to professionals from different fields and companies in our
mentor circles and workshops. One of the things I like is
that you value our opinions and try your best to accommodate our
needs based on our feedback. Thank you for doing what you
do!" - Gigi J., ELAC
