Stem Starter Academy
The STEM Starter Academy (SSA) program is an initiative of the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE) that began in 2013 through the leadership of Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and support from the Massachusetts Legislature. In partnership with the Commonwealth’s community college system, the STEM Starter Academy aims to recruit, ready, retain, and graduate a diverse body of students earning STEM certificates and degrees who go on to transfer to 4-year STEM programs and/or enter the workforce.
