Midlands Technical College Adopts STEM Profiles for Students

Midlands Technical College has teamed with a private partner to help connect students with businesses in an effort to promote interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

The school has partnered with STEM Premier, provider of an online platform that allows students "to build personal profiles showcasing their skills and talents so colleges, technical colleges and companies can view the profiles and connect directly with students to share opportunities such as internships, scholarships and job openings in the STEM fields and beyond," according to a news release. "The online service allows high school and college students to market themselves and optimize their 'personal brand' and guide them toward their education and career goals."
STEM Premier allows students to build personal profiles to showcase their talents, skills and achievements.

"We are excited to announce our partnership with Midlands Technical College, who is leading the way for technical colleges in the state with this initiative," said Cara Florence, business development and diversity representative at STEM Premier, in a prepared statement. "This partnership will allow us to effectively connect talent to college and business in a way we can measure and show great success. Together, we are striving to connect students to careers in STEM-related fields and provide a better network for companies to find talent. In working together, we will be able to directly impact and strengthen our overall economic health."
