Montana Space Grant Consortium Hands-on STEM Certificate part of STEM Futures:Products
Many Montana higher education students don't currently have good access to the real-world STEM experience employers desire. This is due to many factors, such as institutional focus on academic learning and relatively low number of local pre-graduation training and research opportunities. Therefore, Montana Space Grant Consortium (MSGC) has created a hands-on STEM certificate that will form a guided path to prepare the participants to start their careers.

Description of the Montana Space Grant Consortium Hands-on STEM Certificate part of STEM Futures:Product Elements
Many Montana higher education students don't currently have good access to the real-world STEM experience employers desire. Therefore, Montana Space Grant Consortium (MSGC) has created a hands-on STEM certificate that will form a guided path to prepare the participants to start their careers. This certificate is not a traditional group of coursework that is recorded on a transcript, but is a set of guided non-coursework modules that leads to a participant-built professional portfolio. The resulting professional portfolio will increase the likelihood that the participants will receive the internship or job offer that they desire.
