Building the Future Louisiana STEM Workforce Together
The mission of the Southeastern Northshore STEM Center is to provide vision, access to immersive experiential learning, and support for STEM related workforce development in the Northshore region with specific focus on our emerging workforce: students and young adults ages 15-25.
Louisiana Works' LaSTEM Region 9
The region’s five parishes (Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington) have been designated as LaSTEM Region 9. Led by Southeastern Louisiana University in partnership with LaSTEM, now a part of Louisiana Works, and guided by a representative Advisory Committee, the Southeastern Northshore STEM Center supports the mission and goals of LaSTEM by connecting and collaborating with regional stakeholders to build meaningful STEM opportunities that prepare tomorrow’s workforce in response to the needs of our community.
