Connecting with a Range of Organizations

We are committed to establishing, developing, and nurturing national and local partnerships that will help foster and grow a diverse workforce at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). For example, our STEM Development Opportunities Portal supports and hosts local high school or college students seeking STEM experiences throughout the year. These experiences include job shadowing, internships, and ongoing mentoring programs. 

The successes of our missions are based on the extraordinary experiences each of our employees, partners, and volunteers bring to the organization. Understanding and respecting various perspectives in an open, safe, and collaborative setting provides STScI resources and talent to make world-changing scientific contributions.
