Due to the lack ofopportunities at a two-year institution, a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)Program purposefully recruited from a local community college. By recruiting from communitycollege students, we provide opportunities to underrepresented populations, women, and otherswhich can meet the demand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)graduates for the United States to remain globally competitive [2].As global competitiveness increases, community colleges can also help to increase interest inSTEM careers, especially engineering.

Students noted, “Cloud is the next big thing within the Tech field, and I want to beahead of the game,” and “it is a relatively new field, and has much room for expansion. I wouldlove to be part of its expansion.” Several students’ responses were related to the theme of the jobopportunities that would be available to them once they earned a certificate. One studentreported, “I needed something to boost my potential in a tight market,” and another noted “I wantto advance in the IT field as much as possible, IT is an ever-expanding career field, and I won’tbe left behind.” Figure 5.
