What WiSTEM²D is—and why it matters
Johnson & Johnson has invested in the STEM2D workforce to giving them the tools, resources and opportunities to succeed at work and at home since our founding more than 138 years ago.
Furthering that commitment, in 2015 we launched our WiSTEM2D initiative. WiSTEM2D stands for Winning in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing and Design. We believe the STEM2D workforce can be catalysts for creating healthier people, healthier communities and a healthier world.
At J&J, we are dedicated to the values in Our Credo. We aim to inspire and empower all employees on their STEM2D journeys through access, engagement and skill development. Together, we believe STEM2D professionals are powerful catalysts for change in the world.
