The Bureau of Labor Statistics has forecast that through 2012, employment in science and engineering occupations will grow about 70 percent faster than employment in other occupations; by 2014, employers expect to hire 2.5 million new STEM workers. CPCC will work with the eight community college members of the Charlotte Regional Workforce Development Partnership, workforce development boards, and regional K-12 systems and four-year colleges and universities including Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to increase the academic success of students interested in career paths in health, energy, and IT.
