Securing the Future of Our Technical Talent Pipeline

As a technology company, Raytheon believes it is of strategic importance to secure the technical talent pipeline for the future. Toward this end, the company is pursuing a multi-pronged approach to support math and science education.

One pillar of this effort is MathMovesU^® (MMU), a Raytheon initiative to encourage middle school students to develop and sustain an interest in math and science. Our MMU website has drawn more than half a million visitors, and our community outreach effort has engaged more than 25,000 students and more than 3,000 Raytheon volunteers.

We support the Aerospace Industries Association’s Workforce Initiative to bring industry representatives into the curriculum development process and the FIRST Robotics program through team sponsorships and employee volunteerism. We work with the Business–Higher Education Forum, where I am honored to co-chair an initiative on Securing America’s Leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). And we continue to support both the Raytheon Scholars program, which provides scholarship grants to the children of employees, and our Matching Gifts for Education program.
