"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

"Economic projections point to a need for approximately 1 million more STEM professionals than the U.S. will produce at the current rate over the next decade. … Currently the United States graduates about 300,000 bachelor and associate degrees in STEM fields annually. Fewer than 40% of students who enter college intending to major in a STEM field complete a STEM degree."

— a 2012 report by President Obama’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology

The stats above should go a long way toward explaining why Accenture (ACN) is launching a global mentor program for college students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
