The National Science Foundation awarded Saint Augustine's University $350,000 under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) for a project grant running from August 2022 through July 2025. The university will develop and study the impact of a career readiness framework for historically black college and university (HBCU) STEM students. Specifically, the university aims to enhance STEM students' career perspectives and occupational attainment through workforce preparation activities. A quasi-experimental research design will examine effects of participation in a STEM career readiness program on vocational perspectives and career training outcomes. Results will translate to best practices informing STEM curriculum, instruction, and extracurricular activities to dismantle barriers experienced by HBCU STEM students pursuing career opportunities. The project aligns with NSF's goals of promoting evidence-based practices to improve underrepresented groups' experiences in STEM education and employment.
