Springville Road. The six-week program kicked off on July 15 and runs through Aug. 22. It teaches the students about app development, robotics and how to act like entrepreneurs. About 120 first- and second-year engineering, science, math and technology students are getting hands-on engineering workshops that connect to real world jobs. This demographic is most likely to drop out of STEM programs and not pursue related fields, which can then drain the worker pool for companies like Intel. Throughout the six weeks of workshops and coursework, the students receive mentoring from Intel engineers and PCC faculty. On top of that, PCC’s faculty can connect with the company and learn current industry practices.

A family wage, and the bene- fits that go with it, not only strengthens families, but also allows our communities to become stronger, more cohe- sive, and more responsive to their citizens' needs. Our family wage agenda reflects our commitment to people working in the build- ing trades, and to workers everywhere. In this small way, we are doing our part to help people achieve the American Dream. This dream that workers can hold dear regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or religious beliefs.
