Chevron STEM Initiatives
Chevron supported Education programs focuses on improving instruction in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and on helping to provide the career and technical training that can lead to well‑paying jobs.
If people and communities are to thrive, education and job training are of critical importance. A workforce armed with the skills needed to succeed in the jobs of tomorrow is important not only to the success of our business, but also to a country’s ability to compete in the global marketplace. We focus on improving instruction in the key subjects of science, technology, engineering and math and on helping provide the career and technical training that can lead directly to well-paying jobs.
