A CALL TO INDUSTRY LEADERS READY TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION
Our innovation economy depends on a talent pipeline that is under threat. As public investment in STEM declines, fewer young people are prepared for careers at your company. You change that by responding to the challenge.
Neurocrine Biosciences responded with a commitment of $250,000 when five companies join the San Diego Innovation Workforce Founding Circle
THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE
We’re already doing this work. 7,000 young people in San Diego are growing up with science right now.
But they don’t know your company.
When you join the Innovation Workforce Founding Circle, that changes. They learn what your company does, what’s possible inside it, and that there’s a place for them there.
They know you. You know them.
The talent stays in San Diego because companies like yours showed up.
