The STEM7 Initiative is a Strategic Collaboration for the Development of STEM talent in Southeastern Wisconsin.  STEM7 serves as the catalyst for:

• Increasing awareness of the STEM challenge
• Creating partnerships and collaborative efforts between educators and employers
• Bringing consistency, efficiency, and synergy to existing STEM programs (rather than creating new programs)
• Continually assessing and improving the STEM environment

STEM7 is backed by a broadly based consortium representing academia (K-12, technical colleges, 2- and 4-year colleges and universities), private and public sector employers of STEM talent, state and local government, economic/workforce development, and the philanthropic community.  ESM administers the STEM7 Initiative.
