Education and Workforce

Through our sister organization, the FMA, we promote the learning of science, technology, engineering, math and linguistics to current students who are interested in becoming a part of the future workforce in the Fort Meade region. We also award scholarships annually.

Career Discovery

Finding a career can be intimidating because there are so many options. Therefore, the best thing we can do developmentally for our K-12 students is to expose them to the possibilities and opportunities. The more opportunities, the more students learn.

PROGRAMS:

Project SCOPE
Tech Mania

Career Exploration

Individuals learn through experience. Career exploration programs allow for people to gain experience exploring different types of careers through a process of experiential learning.

PROGRAMS:

Teacher Externships

Career Growth

While addressing issues and barriers in expanding the talent pipeline, we are also focused on helping the workforce with their growth whether it’s providing apprenticeships as a stepping stone for a career or introducing students to career possibilities through panel discussions.
