Crafting Scholars Emphasizes Need for STEM Training as Career Landscape Shifts

As the job landscape increasingly tilts toward math- and engineering-related fields, Crafting Scholars highlights the importance of STEM training.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 65 percent of today’s students will one day find themselves in jobs related to STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This is a vivid reflection of an ever-changing professional landscape, and it comes with some big implications for students, parents, and educators alike. Simply put, becoming competitive in the job market of the future means exposure to STEM concepts now—yet not all students get the STEM training they really need. In a new statement to the press, Crafting Scholars highlights the importance of STEM, and also offers some practical solutions for parents to prepare their kids.

“More than half of today’s adult workers say they were never exposed to STEM concepts as children,” comments Kris Harris, the founder of Crafting Scholars. “The students of today won’t have the luxury of STEM avoidance. Their career prospects may hinge on the depth of training they have in these math- and science-based fields.”

This is all well and good for students who naturally excel in science, or whose brains are wired for mathematics—but what about the kids who struggle in these areas? According to Harris, there is much that parents can do to cultivate an interest in STEM.

“Start it from a young age,” Harris says. “Introduce your kids to apps and games that employ mathematical concepts. And, point out ways in which engineering, science, and technology factor into their everyday lives. Something as simple as baking a cake requires some basic proficiency in measurement and proportions. Draw out these important connections to stir an interest in STEM.”

As kids get older, parents can further their STEM education through the input of tutors. “Even if your teen isn’t exposed to many STEM concepts in school—or struggles to see the importance of them—a good tutor can help you put together a solid plan to cultivate those basic skills.”

This is something Harris and his team do at Crafting Scholars. “We don’t believe in the cookie cutter approach,” Harris comments. “Instead, we believe in customizing a tutoring plan for each student, helping prepare them for whatever lies ahead.”
