Materiel enterprise uses conference to build diversity
Summary
But, with efficiency in mind, recruiters from both private industry and government organizations need ways to quickly introduce their job opportunities to a wide range of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)-educated students from higher educational institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities. During that time, several government agencies – including the Army Materiel Command – have partnered with BEYA to connect with the most recent graduates in science and technology fields. My life experiences until now have provided me with a unique perspective of practical applications in the ‘science behind the Soldier,’ enhancing my contributions and impact to the overall Army STEM mission,” Nicholson, a contracting officer in support of U.S. “It is really natural for me to relate to the vision of the BEYA STEM conference, further supported by my extensive experiences in the military in the medical community, special operations and now acquisitions. That’s the military’s strength.” Student mentoring is also important to Science Spectrum Trailblazer awardee Abdur-Rahman, a team lead quality assurance engineer for tank ammunition at JMC.
