The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is developing a core curriculum to prepare junior college students for technical jobs at California’s national labs. The initiative is being undertaken by a consortium of community colleges, national labs, and nonprofit educational institutes, and will emphasize science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses to prepare women, minorities, veterans, and other underserved populations for tech jobs. The consortium recently met at the Livermore Valley Open Campus to structure a common STEM educational standard for use by colleges as well as to form internships and other employment pipelines for LLNL and other local labs, including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Ames Research Center, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  To read further, please visit https://www.llnl.gov/news/colleges-labs-develop-stem-core-curriculum.
