Education ProgramAbstractToo few two-year technical and community colleges pursue funding from the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). Instead, they tend to rely on the U.S. Department of Education or the U.S.Department of Labor for federal grants. From the way grant funding opportunities areannounced, to the processes used in reviewing proposals and making funding decisions, to thepolicies and procedures that govern submission of proposals and implementation of grants, NSFoperates differently from other federal funding agencies that make grant awards. The AdvancedTechnological Education (ATE) Program is unique within NSF because of its focus on two-yearcolleges and workforce development, specifically for those who complete for-credit programs

Employer and STEM Core Student Interactions Because STEM and technology employers traditionally recruit engineering internsexclusively from four-year colleges, they are used to meeting interns in-person for the first timeon their first day. As UW’s National Survey of College Internships reports (Joy, 2022), theaverage distance from a student’s home to an in-person site for internship was 331 miles. As stated, many employers are new to working with Community College students and donot see community colleges as producing the skills their company needs. With this in mind,Growth Sector and the STEM Core Network have worked deliberately with employers todevelop opportunities for employers to meet STEM Core students prior to an
