“…As shown in Figures 9 and 10, A variety of external for-profit, nonprofit, and government partners have provided funding and in-kind support to API programs. At the same time, each API program's network of funders is largely disconnected from the network of funders of other API programs; this pattern is similar to that found in the previous reports in this series (Gonzalez, Culbertson, and Nanda, 2017;Gonzalez, Culbertson, and Nanda, 2020). In particular, Catalyst Connection, Education Alliance, and IU1 had multiple additional funders.…”

“…The TEAM Consortium has also grown to be a more central player in the API higher education network. Furthermore, unlike previous periods, during which college networks were largely separated by state lines (Gonzalez, Culbertson, and Nanda, 2017), the TEAM Consortium has a more-balanced…”

“…• The first interim assessment analyzed the beginning stage of the API from October 2014 through December 2016 across all of its endeavors: K-12 STEM, workforce development, and catalyzing the community (see Gonzalez, Culbertson, and Nanda, 2017). An associated technical appendix is available (see Culbertson, Gonzalez, and Nanda, 2017).…”

lthough the economy in the tristate Appalachia region of southwestern Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, and eastern Ohio has long included the production and extraction of energy from fossil and renewable sources, natural gas production in the region has grown significantly since 2008 because of the use of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling to extract natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica Shales. As of 2018, Appalachian gas accounted for almost half of total U.S. dry natural gas production (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2018).This growth in energy production has led to an increase in demand for workers who are proficient in STEM. In addition, employers in the region are searching for workers with cross-cutting skills, such as problem-solving and teamwork, and those who demonstrate skills hybridization,
