The U.S. National Science Foundation and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy are spearheading the National Q-12 Education Partnership with industry and academia to provide training and tools to students ready to become the future quantum workforce. This initiative expands quantum education to students in middle and high school across the country.
NSF is advancing quantum education by investing nearly $1 million in QIS education efforts, including establishment of the Q2Work Program aimed at supporting learners and educators in quantum information science and technology. This collaboration of top industry and academic leaders provides opportunities to develop a knowledgeable and motivated quantum workforce.
In the coming decades, quantum systems are poised to drive the US's industrial base, economic strength and national security. According to NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan, achieving that vision requires a workforce educated and trained in quantum information science and engineering. Through close collaboration with academia, industry, and partner agencies, the National Q-12 Education Partnership will increase the technical literacy of students, expanding inclusion and broadening participation for a future workforce that will bring benefits to all.
