The 2016 STEM JobsSM Approved Employers survey rates companies
on their ability and responsiveness to hiring and developing
STEM-skilled job candidates, creating STEM career paths, and in
connecting with higher education institutions that offer STEM
programs. The Top 5 Industry Awards, introduced in the fall of
2015, recognize organizations providing the best job opportunities
in the STEM fields profiled in STEM JobsSM magazine.
Companies participating in the survey were scored on publicly
available data and responses to proprietary questions around four
key indicators that demonstrate the extent to which a company works
to: 1) Provide opportunities for employees to explore STEM careers;
2) Promote partnerships with colleges that foster STEM literacy and
that connect classrooms to careers; 3) Actively engage in efforts
promoting the importance of pursuing STEM literacy and how that
connects to the positions for which they hire; and 4) Promote STEM
programs and career paths that actively attract and engage
under-represented student populations.
“We are honored to be named as one of the 2016 STEM Jobs SM
Approved Employers. This award highlights Oshkosh’s commitment to
promoting STEM to young people. Oshkosh is dedicated to providing
opportunities for young people to be exposed to STEM to help
position them for their future careers,” said Wilson Jones, Oshkosh
Corporation president and chief executive officer.
“Our STEM JobsSM awards help employers, colleges, and K12
schools better understand the kinds of efforts that are critical to
promoting highly effective, efficient STEM programs, plus how well
their programs are helping students understand the value of STEM
and the immense career opportunities that exist,” said Glen
Zollman, Vice President of STEM Jobs. “We’re pleased to showcase
organizations like Oshkosh Corporation that are leading the way in
providing long-term STEM careers.”
