Women in STEAM
The UNeTech Institute and Bio Nebraska are proud to present Opportunity Corps: Women in STEAM, a ten-month education program focused on entrepreneurship and leadership development that matches women academic and industry professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math with women mentors in those subject areas. The program, a partnership between UNeTech and Bio Nebraska, is funded through a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Opportunity Corps: Women in STEAM focuses on a different subject each month, with a one-day educational workshop session featuring STEAM industry experts and leaders from the community, as well as one-on-one mentoring sessions with the mentors each month.
Applications are accepted every October. The program runs February through November.
All Opportunity Corps fellows are compensated upon completion of the program.
Opportunity Corps Program Update
Due to public policy shifts and the inability to secure DEI grants from federal or state agencies, the Opportunity Corps program will be on hiatus for one year. We remain deeply committed to empowering women in STEAM and actively seek foundation or private sponsorships to continue this vital work.
If you or your organization are interested in supporting the program’s future, please reach out to us. Together, we can ensure that leadership and entrepreneurial opportunities remain accessible to those who need them most.
