The main purpose of the project is to connect classroom learning to what is happening in Iowa's workplace. At the core of the STC project is a database of more than 200 career professionals in Iowa. This database is used for all of the components of the STC project. A range of criteria is used to select career professionals and occupations for the STC database. Self-employed and entrepreneurs are also represented in the database of occupations.
Every attempt is made to include persons of diverse ages, gender and ethnic backgrounds.
Individuals from across Iowa are included. Statistics and projections from the Iowa Workforce Development, Iowa Department of Economic Development and the Iowa Association of Business and Industry. Student and teacher input. All of the components of the STC project revolve around on-going relationships between the educational and business communities.
