Strategic Twin Counties Education Partnership (S.T.E.P.)

STEP is a cross-sector collaborative, bringing education, business and government together to ensure (A) our region's competitiveness via a future-ready workforce and (B) the availability of compelling career opportunites that keep our residents in the area or bring them back. STEP connects the dots from cradle to career, ensuring that young people in Nash and Edgecombe Counties are exposed to and fully prepared for the 21st century jobs our region offers.
