Some Statistics Virginia Placement Test & Developmental Math
Modules STEM Career & Education Opportunities Math/Science
Requirements Four Years of High School Math Early Placement Testing
Senior Capstone Free College Math Preparation Materials Slide 3 Why
STEM-H? #1 issue facing Virginia businesses was STEM-H workforce
development and education Job Growth Is Nearly Double That Of Non-
STEM-H Occupations Wages Are 66% Higher in STEM Careers When
Compared to General Occupations 13.8% of all the jobs to be filled
in the next 4 years are expected to be STEM-H. Virginia needs to
graduate 28% more STEM-H students to reach the national average

Over 60% of students entering community colleges require
developmental math Less than 25% of these students will graduate
from college Slide 11 STEM-H Pipeline: Math Readiness Strategy
Enhance college math readiness in high school graduates Increase
STEM-H career and education awareness 32% Were Not College Ready
Only 21% Chose STEM Slide 12 Impact of High School Math Courses on
