Grant Overview
Wyoming's frontier counties face significant healthcare workforce shortages, with 23 counties experiencing provider shortages that exceed national averages by 300%. The Wyoming STEM Talent Pipeline initiative addresses this challenge by supporting students pursuing STEM fields through scholarships and internships, leveraging partnerships with local energy and technology businesses to drive innovation and workforce development. Wyoming students pursuing STEM fields face unique challenges, including limited job opportunities and a lack of diversity in the STEM workforce, with women making up only 22% of the state's STEM workforce. The initiative targets these students, providing scholarships and internships that prepare them for careers in Wyoming's key industries. Eligibility for the scholarship requires enrollment in a Wyoming institution, demonstration of academic excellence, and commitment to working in a Wyoming STEM field for at least three years after graduation. Wyoming's energy industry is a significant driver of the state's economy, with 21% of the workforce employed in energy-related fields. The initiative prioritizes students pursuing fields related to this industry. ## Wyoming's STEM Workforce Landscape Wyoming's STEM workforce is critical to the state's economy, with major industries including energy, technology, and healthcare. The Wyoming STEM Talent Pipeline initiative aims to address the state's STEM workforce needs by providing students with the financial assistance and career training needed to succeed in these fields. ## Capacity Building in Wyoming Wyoming's rural healthcare providers face significant capacity challenges, including limited infrastructure and workforce shortages. The initiative requires applicants to demonstrate capacity to deliver STEM education in Wyoming's frontier counties, where broadband access is limited in 45% of households. Unlike Colorado applications, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation.
