JPMorgan Chase recently put $5.3 million into two local organizations to encourage young people in underserved communities to pursue careers in high-demand industries such as tech and healthcare.
The Greater Washington Partnership and Education Strategy Group will use the investment to expand their TalentReady initiative, which connects students with internships and work experience outside of the classroom.
“The Mid-Atlantic region has incredible STEM career opportunities in some of the world’s most in-demand technical fields,” said Kathy Warden, the Greater Washington Partnership’s Board Chair and CEO of Northrop Grumman, in an announcement. “Enriching our STEM workforce across the entire talent pipeline strengthens America’s technological leadership edge.”
