Agilent has joined 100 leading companies from across multiple sectors to support Change the Equation in its goal of preparing students for STEM-related careers. Through innovative and effective company-led programs, Agilent and CTEq seek to fill the opportunity gap with capable and enthusiastic STEM-literate young people. It is the first and only STEM education group that brings so many corporate leaders together in collaboration with the White House, State Houses nationwide, and the foundation community.
Our affiliation with CTEq is definitely a different and exciting opportunity to move forward on STEM education, said Bill Sullivan, Agilent president and CEO. The network that Agilent has developed regarding STEM education is significant, particularly in the area of teacher development, and we believe putting those connections to work will add significant value to our efforts.
CTEq has an ambitious agenda for its first year, including creating a snapshot of existing STEM investments by its member companies to establish a baseline of STEM programs.
