Despite their high rankings and critical societal roles, both fields facesignificant workforce shortages projected to persist over the next decade. Addressing thischallenge requires collaborative outreach efforts by industry, academia, government, andnonprofit organizations to attract new talent.This paper presents a new collaboration among a nonprofit organization, a medium-sized for-profit engineering firm, a government agency, and an academic institution to support one of fourtracks in a major outreach event.

This structure is designed toequip them not only with technical skills but also with the ability to navigate complexworkplace environments.GEES goes beyond classroom education by integrating co-curricular activities that fosterprofessional skills. For example, students participate in workshops on job search strategies,interview techniques, and negotiation skills, helping them navigate the professional worldwith confidence.
