Speaker 1 (00:00):
I can guarantee you I would not be where I
am today if I hadn't worked in a lab for
a couple of years when I was in high school.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
That's l Sims, RCC Associate VP of Academic Affairs, who
tells me they have dozens of kids on campus this summer.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
We've been running high school programs for the last several summers,
but we keep getting bigger and better.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Thirty students are in the RCC STEM Experience Program and
another forty are getting some college credits learning about engineering
fundamentals or it problem solving. Sim says each student gets
paid hourly while participating, so they don't have to choose
between learning or getting a job.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's the future of Boston. We are a biotech hub,
we are an environmental hub. We are a hub of STEM.
And if we don't nurture these students now, at this age,
we won't have people five ten years from now to
take on these really important jobs from RCC.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
