This $1.09 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program, formerly known as Education and Human Resources (CFDA 47.076), will support the Community College of Philadelphia in expanding pathways and support for transportation technology education and careers. Specifically, the college will redesign outreach and recruitment strategies to attract, recruit, and enroll more female students in its transportation technologies programs, creating a "learn and earn" approach to close the gender gap in technology fields and place more technicians into sustainable employment. As a minority-serving institution serving a predominantly low-income and Black student population, the project focuses on supporting program completion through short-term training and work-based learning experiences that allow students to earn higher wages while enrolled and advance within their chosen career paths. The three-year project period runs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 and aims to broaden participation in STEM fields through this integrated technical education program.
