Working Together for Progress
Persons with disabilities are one of the most significantly underrepresented groups in STEM education and employment, comprising a disproportionately smaller percentage of STEM degrees and jobs compared to their percentages in the U.S. population. TAPDINTO-STEM employs a collective impact approach with dozens of partnering institutions to increase the number of students with disabilities (SWDs) who complete associate, baccalaureate and graduate STEM degrees and enter the STEM workforce.
STEM For All
The TAPDINTO-STEM Alliance seeks to enhance academic and social practices of institutions of higher education to widen pathways for students with disabilities with three primary objectives.
Increase the number of graduates in STEM disciplines
Facilitate the transition into the STEM workforce
Enhance collaboration among institutions of higher education
