Business of Government, the private sector has more tools available for recruiting than the federal government does. These include internships, mentoring, summer
employment, and STEM scholarship programs. The federal government is now working to add these tools to their recruitment portfolio for STEM candidates, the Center said. According to the World Economic Forum, increasing
innovation will be multiplied by emerging technology in artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, energy storage, and quantum computing. Some of the largest companies deploying emerging
technologies include Internet advertising, search engine, and software giant—and parent company of Google—Alphabet Inc., JP Morgan Chase, ExxonMobil, Bank of America, AT&T, Verizon, Wal-Mart Stores, Microsoft, Comcast, P&G, Ford, IBM, General Motors, FedEx, PepsiCo, Johnson & Johnson, UnitedHealthcare, Pfizer, Intel, CVS, McDonald’s, the Home Depot, Target, and General Electric (GE). Apple Inc., which released its best, most advanced
iPhone ever in September, is at the forefront of mobile devices development, personal computing, and software. Samsung Electronics is a global leader in semiconductor and electronics, and Internet retailer
