Let's Reimagine Pittsburgh Together™

STEMup Science and Technology Institute™ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Pennsylvania, founded on the belief that workforce development, venture creation, and venture growth must operate together to drive regional prosperity. Local economies have long struggled with the “chicken-and-egg” dilemma - whether to train workers first or create companies first. STEMup’s Coop Model™ resolves this by educating, mentoring, and apprenticing workers and companies concurrently so that as ventures grow, they can hire workforce-ready individuals. STEMup defines STEM broadly: any individual or company using science or technology in their work is part of the STEM community.
