Abstract:According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the current science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce comprises only 26 percent women, 7 percent Hispanics, and 6 percent African Americans. These figures are mirrored in the current transportation workforce— part of the reason that the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Labor, and Education are working together to strengthen skills training and career pathways across the transportation industry. In response, the Mid-America Transportation Center (MATC), based at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), developed and implemented the MATC Scholars Program in 2010, a conference dedicated to promoting graduate study among underrepresented minorities and women in the transportation field.
