When the goal is building a diverse workforce of scientists and engineers, one of the best places to start is with graduating college students.
But, with efficiency in mind, recruiters from both private industry and government organizations need ways to quickly introduce their job opportunities to a wide range of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)-educated students from higher educational institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Enter the Black Engineer of the Year Awards STEM Global Competitiveness Conference (also known as the Becoming Everything You Are conference).
For 35 years, BEYA has been a leading venue for introducing the nationâs minority STEM-educated students to the workplace. During that time, several government agencies â including the Army Materiel Command â have partnered with BEYA to connect with the most recent graduates in science and technology fields. This year the BEYA STEM Global Competitive Conference is set for Thursday through Saturday and will be virtual.
