This collaborative study is investigating how the STEM skills and training that individuals from underrepresented groups acquired during high school and postsecondary education have contributed to their STEM workforce success and the types of occupations they now enjoy in midlife. It is uses the High School & Beyond (HS&B) database, a nationally representative study of high school sophomores from 1980. HS&B contains a large sample of African Americans and Latinos, women, and people with disabilities, including those who earned postsecondary degrees, to provide information about how our education system has and can prepare diverse students to fully participate in a complex and rapidly changing workforce, even during middle and later adulthood. The project has the following three aims:1. Identifying the aspects of STEM training in schools, from specific coursework to degree attainment and field of degree, that contribute to workforce success and flexibility during early adulthood and in later midlife work. Research Question: Which STEM skills and training have high labor market value in (i) early and (ii) middle to late careers?2. Analyzing whether the relationship between STEM training and workforce success is the same for all workers, and if not, how it differs for women and men, African Americans, Latinos, and Whites, and for persons with and without disabilities.Research Question: Do the relationships between skills and the labor market generalize to underrepresented groups?3. Producing a database, that will be released through NCES, on HS&B sample members' occupations that can be used by the broader research community to generate new knowledge on workforce development and broadening participation in STEM.

这项合作研究正在调查高中和上学后教育中获得的人数不足的群体的STEM技能和培训如何为他们的STEM劳动力成功以及他们现在在中年享受的职业类型做出了贡献。 它是使用高中和超越（HS＆B）数据库，这是一项全国代表性的研究，对1980年的高中大二学生进行了代表性的研究。HS＆B包含大量的非裔美国人和拉丁裔，妇女，妇女，包括那些获得过上学后学士学位的残疾人，包括我们如何为我们的教育系统和终于不断地努力工作的人，甚至可以在工作中及时努力工作，甚至可以在工作中及时努力工作，甚至可以使工作变得不断变化，甚至可以使工作变得不断变化，甚至可以使自己的工作变得更加迅速地锻炼，甚至可以为劳动而努力，甚至可以努力工作。 该项目具有以下三个目标：1。确定学校中STEM培训的各个方面，从特定的课程到学位和学位领域，在成年初期以及后来的中年工作中有助于劳动力的成功和灵活性。 研究问题：哪种STEM技能和培训在（i）早期和（ii）中后期职业中具有较高的劳动力市场价值？2。分析所有工人的STEM培训与劳动力成功之间的关系是否相同，如果没有，则与男女，非洲裔美国人，拉丁裔和白人以及没有残疾人的人有何不同。研究问题：技能和劳动力市场之间的关系是否普遍存在，劳动力市场之间的关系不足以承受代表性不足的群体？3。生产一个数据库，该数据库将通过NCES发布，该数据库可以在HS＆B样本成员的职业上发布，该职业可以被更广泛的研究社区使用，以产生有关劳动力发展的新知识并扩大参与STEM的知识。
