Governor’s Weekly Message: Recognizing Innovative STEM Educators

DOVER – In his weekly message, Governor Markell discusses the growing need for workers trained in STEM fields – science, technology engineering and math – and a new effort by the State and the STEM Council to recognize innovative STEM educators who are teaching the necessary skills to tomorrow’s workforce.

“When I visit companies like Pats Aircraft Systems in Sussex County, I hear that while Delaware has a great workforce, it’s not easy to find engineers to fill available positions,” said Governor Markell. “By supporting our teachers’ work to help our students excel in science, technology, engineering and math, we’ll help build the future workforce for Pats Aircraft and businesses throughout our state. And that will keep Delaware moving forward.”

Every week, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form. The message is available on:
