A STEM Community
GNOrocs has created a Regional Advisory committee comprised of regional stakeholders that are committed to the future of the GNO STEM economy and making a meaningful community impact. The advisory committee will convene quarterly to discuss student pathways to local industries and careers, including apprenticeships and direct workforce training. This expanded level of engagement with our local industry and economic leaders will increase alignment to career exploration and opportunities for the students and workers of our students.
