To further community engagement, education, and training efforts, CONECT hosts the Student Training and Engagement Program (STEP) that provides students with training on marketable skills in the areas of operations, data and networking, and cybersecurity. CONECT STEP will promote the development of a diverse, competitive STEM workforce by providing opportunities to students, with a focus on recruiting and enrolling students from underrepresented groups. Through these shared efforts, CONECT will democratize participation in the cyberinfrastructure ecosystem, deliver more value at all layers of the service and support stack, and enable the entire ACCESS program to achieve success in advancing cyberinfrastructure that adopts new thinking and transformative discoveries in all areas of science and engineering research and education.
