Finding Your Workforce: Latino Talent in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Linking Latino College Completion with U.S. Workforce Needs
Deborah Santiago; Emily Labandera; Cassandra Arroyo; Sami Russell Nour
Excelencia in Education
Although more Latinos are entering the STEM workforce, they continue to be underrepresented in high-salary STEM occupations. To ensure America's future, institutions and STEM employers must both play an active role in preparing, selecting, and sourcing Latino talent for a global economy. Excelencia's research demonstrates that select institutions are investing in the recruitment, development, and completion of Latino talent and STEM employers have opportunities to strengthen their workforce. To bridge this gap, Excelencia has analyzed national datasets to connect STEM employers with institutions that are graduating and preparing Latinos for the workforce. This brief identifies the top institutions graduating Latinos (2019-20) in STEM from certificates to the doctorate level. These top 25 institutions are meeting the nation's economic needs by intentionally serving Latino students and producing Latino talent. This brief also highlights institutions and their intentional efforts to support post-completion success by providing educational credentials needed to support the current and future STEM workforce.
