Social, Economic, and Workforce Implications of IT and IT Workforce Development Coordinating Group(SEW CG)
Contents |
Overview
Consistent with the draft NITRD Strategic Plan, the SEW CG coordinates the activities of the Social, Economic and Workforce Implications of Information Technology (IT) and IT Workforce Development Program Component Area (PCA), including the work of the CG’s subsidiary Team focusing on IT and education.
The activities funded under SEW focus on
- i) the co-evolution of IT and social/economic systems,
- ii) interactions between people and IT devices and capabilities,
- iii) the workforce development, training, and education needs arising from the growing demand for productive next-generation workers skilled in IT, including graduate fellowships and
- iv) the role of innovative IT applications in education and training.
A key goal of SEW research and outreach activities is to enable individuals and society to better understand and anticipate the uses and consequences of IT, so that this knowledge can inform policymaking, IT designs, and the IT user community, and can broaden participation in IT education and careers.

2010 Federal STEM Education Inventory Portal
In an effort to advance the impact of the The Federal Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education Portfolio produced by the NSTC, the NCO has setup a STEM Inventory Portal. This portal, empowered by the Federal STEM education inventory dataset, will hopefully prove useful for government, academic, and industry researchers as a tool to look at existing Federal agency's STEM programs, initiatives, investments and more. |
