3M STEP Program
The Science Training Encouragement Program (STEP) is a partnership between 3M and the Saint Paul Public Schools. STEP supports 3M’s recognition of the importance of diversity and equal opportunity in its workforce. The program provides opportunities in science for high school students from diverse backgrounds to increase job skills through further training and practical experience, gain insights into scientific careers, and enhance personal development. SPPS juniors and seniors are eligible to participate. Participation involves twice-weekly classes at 3M from January through June, and a full-time summer job in the 3M laboratories from June through August.
