Florida's STEM Program secures dream futures now
Opportunities and Benefits
One of the most compelling aspects of the STEM Program is its ability to open doors to lucrative career paths. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that STEM occupations are projected to grow by 8% from 2019 to 2029, which is much faster than the average for all occupations1. This growth translates into a wealth of job opportunities in fields such as software development, data analysis, and engineering. Furthermore, STEM careers tend to offer higher salaries compared to non-STEM jobs. For instance, the median annual wage for STEM occupations was $89,780 in 2020, significantly higher than the median wage for all occupations at $41,9502.
