The Upper Valley Region of Vermont and New Hampshire is the home of many manufacturing and high technology industries.  The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates that jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) will grow 17 percent by 2018—nearly double the growth for non-STEM fields. By 2018, the U.S. will have more than 1.2 million unfilled STEM jobs because there will not be enough qualified workers to fill them. STEM is where jobs are today and where job growth will be in the future.

The Hartford Area Career and Technology Center has implemented Project Lead The Way (PLTW), the nation’s leading provider of K-12 STEM programs, to leverage an innovative, project-based approach, providing an opportunity for students to understand the lessons in action, solve problems, collaborate, and build critical thinking skills.
