Chemours Launches School Partnership Program, ChemFEST

The Chemours Company (NYSE: CC), a global chemistry company, today launched the Chemours Future of Engineering, Science, Trades and Technology (ChemFEST) school partnership program. To champion change toward a more diverse science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce, Chemours will invest in under-resourced middle schools in its footprint communities around the world to ensure that younger students are exposed to STEM education early on. This is critical as research shows that proficiency and interest in STEM are most influential when initiated before students reach high school and begin choosing their courses.
