STEP TEAM

• "A few years ago, I was asked to take one of my daughters high school classes on a field trip, exposing them to my profession. It was encouraging to see the students enthusiasm entering this new world. Nothing felt better than to hear from one of the teens parents, who praised the trip and the desire his daughter showed to pursue the Design profession."

• "As the Chairman of my town's school committee, I have a heightened awareness of the need for more community and corporate partnerships. Like most schools districts in our country, we are experiencing a widening gap in our ability to prepare students for their future; and we view these initiatives as key components of our mission."

• "I am a perfect example of a student that graduated University with many pre-conceived ideas of what career options were available within a company. Fortunately, it was the people in the company I joined that inspired me and educated me on the multi-faceted opportunities and career paths that exist within an organization. "

• "I have experienced firsthand the value of exposing teenagers to different career possibilities and have witnessed the benefits. I have been lucky enough to hear the appreciation directly from our own children for providing them with a window into a variety of careers that ultimately shaped their future."
