The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the way we work and learn in a short period. Despite the best efforts of K-12 STEM educators to transform their classes into virtual environments, some students have fallen behind. According to Ed Week, half of U.S. students enrolled in Advanced Placement STEM courses before the pandemic said they could not finish their courses or take exams in biology, chemistry, and physics. Furthermore, many science and engineering college students have missed out on valuable internship and research opportunities, and they will soon enter an uncertain job market. For both young technical professionals and those who are more established in their fields, taking the time to learn new skills in this age of remote working can help their careers flourish.
Explore resources and courses designed to help working professionals and students advance. Join IEEE Education Week (4-8 April 2022), a weeklong celebration of educational opportunities provided by the world’s largest technical professional association and its many organizational units, societies, and councils.
