America’s engineering industry needs more engineers in the talent pipeline to support a growing economy. ACEC advocates for a long-term strategy of STEM education investments and other policies that seek to inspire young people to pursue engineering careers, as well as a near-term strategy that better aligns the nation’s immigration policies with economic growth. To advance this workforce agenda ACEC strongly supports expanding the number of employment-based visas and green cards that enable firms to hire global talent when qualified Americans are not available.
