These impacts for both genders are statistically significant". "Male students who had the chance to attend P-TECH 9-14 schools were more likely to attain college degrees than male students assigned to other kinds of schools". https://lnkd.in/e54rSYKT #WeArePTECH #skillsbuild #skillsfirst #skills2030 www.ptech.org PTECH Brooklyn HS Alumni Network NYC Department of Education The City University of New York City Tech, CUNY IBM iX The State University of New York New York State Education Department

Northeastern University and Similar Universities Offer Practical Work Experience from Freshman to Senior Years in College In my opinion, our Covid era college students could mature faster with at least once per year practical training in STEM industries for 3 to 4 month per year where they will be exposed to work experiences similar to their future careers. In my opinion, most college professor are not aware of the typical jobs that their students will be doing after graduation. Summer internships for faculty and students in companies might bring relevance to the college experience. I worked in industry for 30 years and in academic environments for a total of 30 years. Most industrial STEM employers admire the brilliance of professors; but they also realize that professors are not aware of how technical knowledge is used in solving practical problems.

Why Does It Take 3 to 12 Months For STEM Students To Transitition From Academia to Industry In my opinion, academia fuels creativity in industry; but most academics are uninterested or unwilling to communicate with the future employers of their STEM students. In my opinion, internships or Summer jobs in industry will provide a much quicker transition of STEM students to industry. It took me three summer jobs in three STEM areas and my first industrial job in order for me to find a STEM specialty in industrial water treatment.
