St. Charles County has an abundance of STEM talent, thanks to decades of prioritizing STEM education, training, and career pathways. 

The County is home to St. Charles Community College, which dedicates more than $50 million to enhance laboratory and research facilities, advance technology, and bolster industrial science programs.  Our suburban community is surrounded by universities, tech schools, and workforce development resources tailorable to the operational needs of healthcare and bioscience organizations.
