President and CEO,
CRVE, Inc

Since 1999, the Center for Research in Vocational Education has assisted students, professionals achieve access to opportunities and success in technology careers.

From the beginning, CRVE has collaborated with business, industry, education, and community organizations to generate the resources necessary to allow students to complete their college educations and enter scientific careers.

CRVE has developed expertise in research and has become well known for tracking national trends in this critical area. Our reputation has enabled us to play a leading role in shaping and influencing national education and workforce policy.

Now, progress on this issue is more important than ever. A national shortage of green jobs, coupled with the increasing diversity of our population, has made science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers more than a matter of basic fairness. Full use of all our human resources has become imperative for the success of our businesses, the health of our economy, and our national security.

We are enormously proud of the accomplishments of our CRVE alumni and their role in shaping the future of America. But more needs to be done. Please join with us in achieving our vision of a workforce that looks like America.
