Missouri Science Technology Engineering and Math Workforce Innovation Networks (MoSTEMWINs)

Missouri STEM Workforce Innovations Networks (MoSTEMWINs) is designed to allow Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)-eligible, long-term unemployed and other dislocated workers to overcome the challenges they face and connect to employment that is sustainable and pays earnings that support families. The thirteen (13) Missouri community colleges have formed a collaborative partnership to provide opportunities for Missouris target population to obtain strong science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills tied to occupations in the states targeted and growth economic clusters. MoSTEMWINs also addresses the fundamental, underlying barriers that prevent the target population from entering and completing STEM programs by: (1) accelerating entry into career programs by offering opportunities to improve underdeveloped academic skills; (2) creating clear pathways to STEM careers; and (3) improving employment attainment for the target population.
