Each week we see concerning reports about the STEM skills gap continuing to widen in the United States. The good news is Congress and the Biden Administration have a unique chance to help move things in the right direction. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, there were 1.4 million open tech vacancies in 2020 and only 400,000 computer science graduates. This is an alarming statistic, especially for a country that prides itself on being the home of Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook. Furthermore, with the COVID-19 pandemic shuttering travel and borders, companies have no longer been able to rely as much on skilled workers from other countries — and the U.S. educational system has not caught up with the need for STEM-skilled workers.
