Drawing attention to the institutions graduating Latinos in postsecondary education links the college completion goals of the U.S. with the workforce needs of the country. This report provides a profile of the current Latino workforce in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) for 2012-13 (the most recent data publicly available), and shares some current and potential opportunities for action to improve Latinos' retention and completion of a credential, and increase their representation in the STEM workforce. The goals of the report are to: (1) Increase awareness of Latinos graduating with degrees in occupational growth areas important to the nation's current and future workforce; (2) Respond to those interested in recruiting Latinos with postsecondary credentials but do not know where to find them; (3) Highlight the institutions and their efforts in graduating Latinos; and (4) Encourage employers to do more to engage the Latino community.
