The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) recently launched the STEM Talent Challenge to support programs to train science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) talent and fuel regional innovation economies across the nation. The $2 million program will provide funding for work-and-learn programs to increase America’s STEM-capable workforce.
Competition applicants may request up to $250,000 for implementation of a 24-month workforce program that complements their region’s innovation economy.
