SCTE and US First Program Partnership

SCTE joined in its alliance with First to support their mission to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills that inspire innovation.

First’s annual programs culminate in an international robotics competition and celebration where teams win recognition, gain self-confidence, develop people and life skills, make new friends, and discover a potential career path such as cable telecommunications.

The cable industry can benefit greatly from being involved with FIRST to support future leaders and inform them of the viable career opportunities within the telecommunications field.
