Nonprofit works to make a difference in STEM

 
POSTED ON Jul 02, 2020
 

Since 2016, Code2College has helped almost a thousand high school students enter and excel in science, technology, engineering, and and math (STEM) undergraduate majors and careers. Now, the Pflugerville, Texas-based nonprofit organization says it plans to place 200 minority women into STEM roles.

In an open letter posted on the organization’s website, Matthew C. Stephenson, executive director & co-founder of Code2College, said its Vision 2024 program is focused on identification, recruitment, preparation, and workforce placement of women who have the talent and potential, but historically and currently lack the access.

The education management nonprofit says it wants to make central Texas the U.S. capital for diverse, homegrown technical talent.

According to Code2College, they have partnered with leading companies to place high school technical interns in a variety of teams including software engineering, software development, information technology, DevOps, and more.
