The United States is facing a growing crisis: a severe shortage of workers in STEM, the supply chain and skilled trades. But here’s the good news: We have the talent and resources to start solving this problem today.
The labor shortage in these critical fields is not new, but it has been exacerbated by several factors, including an aging workforce; resignations and retirements accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic; a new phase of industrialization and rapid technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and other areas that require a tech-ready workforce.
To solve this shortage and secure the nation’s economic future and maintain its global competitive edge, the United States must tap into the potential of girls and underrepresented communities like we’ve never done before.

“GAN gave me a scholarship to attend the Smith Summer Science and Engineering Program (SSEP) and I’ve returned from Massachusetts. Thank you. It was really fun over there. I made friends with many people; especially with one girl, she’s from Uganda. I think that’s cool. So once again, thank you for providing me with the scholarship and the gift card for SSEP.”

“I learned a multitude of things at this program- on the coding side I learned how big data is used, what big data is, how anaconda works, what the future of ai/technology on a whole means for humans, and more about how python works.”

“The people I met at Smith would be my favorite takeaway I would say. I was able to meet young women from across the globe, all with their own stories and experiences. I grew so much in myself too, gained independence and confidence in my own abilities.”

“I realized how fortunate I am and how much I take for granted. I went home with a feeling of accomplishment and gratitude [to] all those who gave. Thank you to the Episcopalian Church and to GAN for giving me the opportunity to serve others. I enjoyed the GAN Giving Back Service Day project and that experience has made me eager to volunteer again.”
