The StepUP Career Awareness Platform

In 2021, Genentech provided seed funding to establish the StepUP Network. This nationwide group of partners provides equal access to advanced technology and science careers for high school, vocational, and community college students. Initial funding for the Career Awareness Platform was provided by the Department of the Navy and Electrify America and version 1.0 is currently being developed through 2023.

The platform contains:
