IT-oLogy and STEM Premier announce partnership
May 1, 2014
COLUMBIA, SC – IT-oLogy and Charleston based STEM Premier announce their partnership to launch the new STEM Premier platform for high school and college students who are engaged in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
STEM Premier creates a comprehensive profile of the student that showcases his/her talents in the STEM fields as well as other areas such as extracurricular, leadership, internships, soft skills and more. The profile serves as the intermediary between STEM talent, higher education and the global labor market. Student profiles are viewed by potential higher education institutions and employers, thus creating a connection and opening new opportunities.
“IT-oLogy works with K-12 schools to encourage students, educators and parents to learn more about the IT profession and STEM Premier’s vision matches ours completely. This is a great partnership for all involved. But, most important, students are the real winners,” said Lonnie Emard, President, IT-oLogy.
This partnership will allow students interested in IT to have the opportunity to receive guidance, further their academic career and eventually enter the workforce successfully. More importantly, they will have the platform to brand themselves to those looking to cultivate their unique skills and achievements.
“Our goal in working with IT-oLogy is to support their mission of developing the IT talent nationwide. This partnership will allow for students to gain better access to higher educational opportunities and exposure to workforce needs geared towards their area of interest in Information Technology,” said Cara Florence, Sales and Partnerships, STEM Premier.
