  • Why Sponsor BEST?

    • Why Sponsor BEST?

  • The U.S. is experiencing a catastrophic shortage in engineers, scientists, and technologically proficient workers.
  • Baby boomers in these fields are retiring in record numbers and there aren't any available professionals-or college graduates-to fill their ranks.
  • Companies and professional societies are getting increasingly involved in K-12 education as a means of workforce development.
  • Tennessee Valley BEST receives no funding from Auburn University,Calhoun Community College or the state. It relies on corporate sponsors to fund this important program.
