Focus on industry requested skills development has led to several new innovations to increase retention, STEM identity, and workforce readiness. Introducing research and STEM based skills to undergraduates at the beginning of their educational journey is highly impactful for first generation, low income college students. CUREs (Course based Undergraduate Research Experiences) are used to allow students to participate in the research experience and gain hands-on scientific knowledge. Partnerships with local industry, non-profits, and educational institutions have led to opportunities for our community college students to participate in internships, job shadowing, and summer research experiences. These partnerships have also led to the creation of skills-based badges and microcredentials focused on biotechnology. These badges and microcredentials are verified credentials that allow students to provide proof of their STEM workforce related skills. These innovations have increased retention, increased the students’ STEM identity, aided in transfer, and enabled students to become technicians.
