The mission of the Office of Science, Innovation and Technology (OSIT) is to coordinate and align efforts by K-12 and higher education, workforce development and employers to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and STEM workforce development so that Nevada’s workforce can meet the demands of its growing and diversifying economy. Additionally, the Office seeks to coordinate and align state efforts to facilitate and promote broadband services, and expand IT infrastructure to Nevada’s schools, healthcare institutions, and departments of public safety. The Office also supports the Advisory Council on STEM, applies for federal grants and administers STEM workforce challenge grants. Below are OSIT reports that relate to our mission and goals.
