EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Virginia Office of Education Economics (VOEE) at the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) was
tasked by the Virginia General Assembly in April 2022 (HB217) (VLIS, 2022a) to review the occupational categories
in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system to determine
whether occupational categories should be added to the Commonwealth’s Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics (STEM) workforce profile. This report documents the results of this analysis and provides a
recommendation for a more inclusive STEM profile for the Commonwealth that expands the definition of the STEM
workforce beyond traditional Science and Engineering occupations and adds occupations identified as Science
and Engineering-related (S&E-related) and the Skilled Technical Workforce (STW). This report is accompanied by an
interactive data set (VOEE, 2022) that includes the new taxonomy and associated labor market information and a
variety of regionalized analyses.

Traditionally, in the United States and in Virginia, STEM has been identified as Science and Engineering occupations
requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher. However, in recent years, the National Science Foundation (NSF/NSB, 2021)
and others have begun to broaden their understanding of the STEM workforce to include those occupations that
actively utilize a STEM skill set. This new basis for understanding a STEM worker extends the STEM profile to include
Science and Engineering-related occupations – jobs requiring science and technology expertise but not traditionally
recognized STEM jobs, and the Skilled Technical Workforce — workers employed in a STEM middle-skills occupation
that do not have a four-year degree. This movement to be more inclusive in the determination of what counts as
STEM has happened for a variety of reasons, including the changing nature of work due to the impact of technology,
labor shortages in the Skilled Technical Workforce, and the use of STEM aligned skills in these occupations. (Chen &
Rotermund, 2020)

The STEM Workforce Profile produced by VOEE results in the following changes:
■
    The expanded STEM Workforce Profile represents a 375% increase in the number of occupations formally
    recognized as using a STEM skill set within Virginia.
■
    The expanded definition now represents approximately 43% of the total occupations defined in the BLS SOC
    taxonomy. In comparison, the former definition of STEM represented 9% of occupations within the BLS SOC
    taxonomy.

■
    The expanded STEM Workforce Profile includes 342 occupations divided into three primary groups:
    — Science and Engineering: 72 Occupations
    — Science and Engineering-related: 126 Occupations
    — Skilled Technical Workforce: 144 Occupations

■
    In the expanded STEM Workforce Profile, 17 of the 23, or 74%, of the SOC Families at the two-digit level are
    represented.
    — Of those, five of the 23 SOC Families have, or nearly have, 100% of all SOC within their families represented
      in the new profile. These include Computer and Mathematical; Architecture and Engineering; Healthcare
      Practitioners and Technical; Life, Physical and Social Science; and Healthcare Support.
    — Including Installation, Maintenance and Repair, and Production, seven out of 23 SOC Families have over
      50% of all SOC within their families represented within the new profile.




                                                                                                                        1

■
    The expanded STEM Workforce Profile represents occupations across all 17 Virginia recognized Career Clusters.
    — The top four Career Clusters with the highest proportion of occupations included in the new STEM Workforce
      Profile include:
        1.   Health Science
        2.   Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
        3.   Information Technology
        4.   Energy

The expanded STEM Workforce Profile presented in this report represents a more inclusive definition of occupations
utilizing a STEM skill set in performing their job roles than previous definitions. Aligning Virginia’s definition of STEM
with current thinking better reflects the realities of the broader use of science-infused skill sets by 21st century
workers spanning multiple industries and changing work environments. For these reasons, VOEE recommends that
the STEM Education Advisory Board adopt the broader STEM workforce profile proposed in this report.

This analysis was conducted in partnership with the Virginia Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
(STEM) Education Advisory Board and the STEM Occupations Subcommittee. This partnership was directed in
the legislation. The VOEE team worked with selected members of the STEM Occupations Subcommittee closely
throughout the summer. This group assisted VOEE in determining the methodology, connecting with stakeholders
in the field to comment on the analysis, and reviewing the final analysis. VOEE presented this
work at two full meetings of the STEM Education Advisory Board in Summer/Fall 2022.

As a supplement to this report, VOEE has provided an interactive spreadsheet
(voee.org/data/) that allows the user to filter on a variety of metrics and
explore STEM workforce data by GO Virginia regions.

INTRODUCTION
The Virginia Office of Education Economics (VOEE) at the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) was
tasked by the Virginia General Assembly in April 2022 (HB217) (VLIS, 2022a) to review the occupational categories
in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system to determine whether
occupational categories should be added to the Commonwealth’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) workforce profile. This report documents the results of that analysis and provides a
recommendation for a more inclusive STEM profile for the Commonwealth that includes traditional Science and
Engineering occupations and adds occupations identified as Science and Engineering-related (S&E-related) and
the Skilled Technical Workforce (STW). This report is accompanied by an interactive data set (VOEE, 2022) that
includes the new taxonomy and associated labor market information.

The Commonwealth has defined what counts as the STEM workforce in a variety of different ways over the years.
The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) documents STEM related programming in a published
STEM list (SHEV, n.d.). This list is akin to the traditional view of what counts as STEM occupations. There has been
interest across gubernatorial administrations and by the General Assembly in STEM over the years. A few examples
are noted below. Governor Youngkin is currently developing a College Partnership Laboratory Schools (VDOE, 2022;
VLIS, 2022b) initiative (Chapter 19.1 in Virginia code) with a strong focus on STEM education and career preparation.
In 2019, the Northam administration established the STEM Commission through an Executive Order (VLIS, 2019).
This commission is tasked with creating a STEM plan and fostering collaboration between stakeholders in the state
with an interest in STEM. The Code of Virginia through the Top Jobs Act of 2011 (VLIS, 2011) established a goal to
“secure a leading economic position for the Commonwealth through increased research and instruction in STEM
and related fields that require qualified faculty, appropriate research facilities and equipment, public-private and
intergovernmental collaboration, and sustained state support.”



What Historically Counts as STEM in Virginia?
Traditionally the STEM workforce has been understood as comprising occupations specialized in Science and
Engineering (S&E) and requiring at least a bachelor's degree, but frequently at a master’s or doctorate degree level.
These occupations have predominantly fallen within one of five major occupational groups including Computer
and Mathematical Scientists; Biological, Agricultural, and Environmental Life Scientists; Physical Scientists; Social
Scientists; and Engineers. This narrower, more traditional understanding of the STEM workforce has many times
precluded a wide array of roles in healthcare, technicians and technologists in multiple industries, and also the
managerial and Science and Engineering-related roles that support the STEM world of work.

However, in recent years, the National Science Board (NSB), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and others
have begun to broaden their understanding of the STEM workforce to include those occupations that actively utilize
a STEM skill set. This new basis of understanding what it means to be a STEM worker expands the STEM profile to
include Science and Engineering-related occupations (S&E-related) — jobs requiring science and technology expertise
but not part of a traditionally recognized STEM role, as well as the Skilled Technical Workforce (STW) — those
workers employed in STEM middle-skills occupations that do not require a four-year degree.

The Case to Broaden the Definition of the STEM Workforce
in Virginia
The STEM workforce is an important part of today’s technologically advanced economy. New developments
and discoveries in science and technology have begun to challenge the traditional framework used to narrowly
define what counts as a STEM worker. Innovative technologies like automation and artificial intelligence are
changing and improving jobs and work activities and, in some cases, requiring more STEM-oriented skill sets
and knowledge from workers. The use of these technologies has begun to reshape traditional ideas about what
it means to be identified as a STEM worker. As the types of workers using STEM knowledge and skills in their
day-to-day activity changes, so must the way we define and measure the STEM workforce.

As noted above, traditional ideas of what counts as a STEM occupation have centered on a job role that requires
a bachelor’s degree or higher in S&E occupations. These occupations remain important and should continue
to be viewed as a part of the STEM Workforce Profile. However, in this report, we are recommending that Virginia
broaden the definition of STEM workers to include those working in Science and Engineering-related occupations
(S&E-related) as well as the middle-skilled technicians and tradesmen in what is referred to as the Skilled
Technical Workforce (STW). This modification in definition of the STEM workforce would add both workers with
a bachelor’s degree and higher and workers without a bachelor’s degree who regularly use STEM knowledge and
skills as they perform their job duties. The inclusion of STW in an expanded STEM workforce definition is
particularly important because it recognizes the changing nature of jobs and the ability of the workforce to adapt
to new technologies and processes as they change.

Support for the inclusion of STW within STEM is provided by the NSB and NSF’s inclusion of STW workers based
on a methodology initially employed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM)
to identify middle-skills occupations (NASEM 2017). This methodology emerged out of a skills-based data set of
self-reported information provided by workers on the extent to which they rely on STEM knowledge domains in
performing their work. In the end, workers in STW defined as STEM workers scored highly in selected STEM
knowledge domains like biology, engineering and technology, and computers and electronics, among others.
Of note, more than 50% of the workers responding did not have a bachelor’s degree (NSF/NSB, 2021).

The shift to include trades and skilled workers is in line with the national conversation around STEM. Similar
proposals to expand the definition of STEM occupations have been put forward by the National Science
Foundation, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), the National Science Board
(NSB) and the National Center for Science Engineering and Statistics (NCSES), among others
(NSF/NSB, 2021; NASEM, 2017; NSB, 2015, 2019; NCSES, 2020).

In addition, NSF and NSB’s inclusion of S&E-related occupations in their new STEM taxonomy emerges from
respondent data from two survey instruments — the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics
(NSES) National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) and the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). These survey
results provided detailed data validating an active use of STEM skill sets in respondents’ job roles. These roles
included occupations with a bachelor’s degree or higher in S&E and S&E-related occupations, as well as those
with S&E and S&E-related degrees, including those in the workforce with Science, Engineering, or Health (SEH)
research doctorates, respectively (NCSES, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c).

METHODOLOGY
This project was guided by the STEM Education Advisory Board’s position that a more modern understanding of
the STEM workforce was needed for guiding future education and policy decisions within Virginia. To that end,
VOEE’s analysis set out to develop a new definition of Virginia STEM occupations that would be more representative
of the broader array of workers who actively utilize a STEM skill set as part of the current STEM world of work. In
discussions with the full Advisory Board and the Occupations Subcommittee, the following five major occupational
groups were identified and determined as being part of a more inclusive STEM Workforce Profile:

1. The Traditionally Defined High Skilled STEM Workforce (bachelor’s degree or higher)
2. Healthcare Workers (including sub-baccalaureate)
3. STEM-related Education and Teaching Occupations (minimum of bachelor’s degree)
4. Technician and Production Occupations including Skilled Trades Apprenticeship (predominantly
   associate’s and sub-associate’s level)
5. Occupations managing and supporting the STEM ecosystem of work (all education levels)

Upon agreement on these five STEM worker categories, VOEE, in partnership with the STEM Education Advisory
Board’s Occupations Subcommittee, began a process to review other established STEM profiles that could serve
as a model for this project. As part of that review process, the NSB and NSF recently released a report on the STEM
labor force that presented a highly aligned STEM definition which was inclusive, current in its thinking, and strongly
aligned to the STEM worker categories already identified by the subcommittee in its goals for the project. Because
of this, the NSB/NSF occupational taxonomy was utilized as the base occupational structure from which to develop
a new Virginia-centric STEM worker profile. Following the NSB/NSF grouping of all STEM workers into three major
groups — Science and Engineering, Science and Engineering-related, and Skilled Technical Workers — VOEE created
an occupational list following this grouping scheme at the Standard Occupational Classification’s (SOC) six-digit
level of specificity. This list was vetted with subcommittee members and recommended individuals within K12,
SCHEV, and select members of the community. That process identified gaps in the NSB/NSF profile in occupational
areas including commercial transportation, teaching roles within K12, healthcare clinical support jobs, and
conservation and funerary sciences. VOEE shared and presented this work at two full meetings of the STEM
Education Advisory Board that took place in summer and fall of 2022. Table 1 provides a list of
the 18 occupations recommended for addition to the VOEE interpreted NSB/NSF framework for Virginia.


Limitations
The timeline available to conduct this analysis was limited to approximately two and a half months. The limited time
factor steered the project team to rely on reviews of existing literature and emerging studies on the modern STEM
workforce, including a strong use of NSB/NSF reports. These references were further augmented by input from
the STEM Education Advisory Board and their affiliated members throughout several project review meetings.
The intent of this report and the accompanying analysis via linked data file is to provide an expanded baseline
definition that other agencies may use to explore and further refine to better represent the STEM world of work
within Virginia.

Data Used to Conduct Analysis
An initial list of STEM SOC at the detail level was created referencing Table SLBR-1 within NSB/NSF documentation
(NSB/NSF, 2021). Labor market data and O*NET occupational attributes for detail level STEM SOC were sourced from
Lightcast’s 2022.3 dataset. Data sources used for analysis within Lightcast's dataset include: Quarterly Census
of Employment and Wages (QCEW), 2021 Q4; Occupational Employment Statistics (OES), 2021; Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) Employment Projections, 2020—2023; Census American Community Survey (ACS), 2020; and
Census Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI), 2022 Q2.

NEW EXPANDED STEM WORKFORCE PROFILE
With the addition of the 18 occupations in Table 1, along with Science and Engineering-related fields and the Skilled
Technical Workforce, the proposed STEM Workforce Profile expands considerably from approximately 72 Science
and Engineering occupations to 342 occupations categorized between Science and Engineering, Science and
Engineering-related, and Skilled Technical Workforce.

Figure 1 illustrates a graphical comparison of relative size of the three new STEM Workforce Profile groupings.
The proposed STEM Workforce Profile in Table 2 represents 43% of BLS SOC occupations within the Virginia
workforce. This expansion represents 375% growth in occupations contained in the new profile compared
to the previous traditional definition, which represented only 9% of occupations in the state.

Occupational Family (SOC Major Group) Representation
The traditional STEM workforce definition aligns directly to Science and Engineering-related occupations
representing five major occupational families out of 23 recognized within the SOC system. The expansion of
occupations within the new STEM Workforce Profile extends those five to 17 occupational families. Table 3
provides a breakdown of representation from each SOC family by the three STEM worker groups, with the
percent of STEM occupations represented in the proposed profile indicated.

Using the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (O*NET) database, occupations within
each of the three STEM groups are aggregated below by STEM worker group and categorized by education level
reported as necessary to perform job tasks (Figure 2); and types of on-the-job training most frequently reported
as provided by employers to workers employed in these occupations (Figure 3).

Based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (O*NET) data, S&E occupations
report some use of internships and residencies, but very few reported on the job training in comparison to
STW and S&E-related workers.

S&E-related occupations are more evenly distributed across categories of entry-level education required to
perform job tasks. Most occupations in this profile range between associate’s to post-baccalaureate education.
Internships, residencies, and moderate on-the-job training are the primary reported forms of on-the-job-training (OJT).

Occupations within the STW profile require the least formal education of the three STEM workforce groupings,
with most occupations requiring no more than a high school diploma to perform job tasks. Of the three worker
groups, STW workers report the most varied amounts of OJT.

As an augmentation to this report, VOEE has provided an interactive spreadsheet that allows the user to filter
on a variety of metrics by GO Virginia regions. These include a Virginia-specific location quotient for analysis of
STEM worker concentrations by region compared to state level concentrations, projected job change, and top
occupational rankings by using these filters. Please refer to these data for further regional analysis of the STEM
Workforce Profile and the accompanying data and analysis used to create this report.

Career Clusters Representation in the STEM Workforce Profiles
The STEM Education Advisory Board members expressed interest in understanding how the occupations represented
in the new STEM Workforce Profile relate to the recognized Career Cluster framework. There are 16 Career Clusters in
the National Career Clusters Framework, representing 79 Career Pathways to help learners navigate their way to greater
success in college and career (Advance CTE, n.d.). The Virginia Department of Education has augmented the 16 clusters
in the framework, with a 17th cluster defined around energy jobs within the state. Table 5 categorizes the percent of
SOC representation in the New STEM Workforce Profile relative to each of the 17 Career Clusters. All Career Clusters are
represented in the STEM Workforce Profile. It should be noted that an individual SOC may have membership in more
than one cluster. The gray highlighted rows in Table 4 represent the Career Clusters with the highest percentage of
occupations (SOC) represented in the new STEM Workforce Profile.

         Proposed New STEM Workforce Profile for the Commonwealth of Virginia | 2022                     16
SUMMARY
The expanded STEM Workforce Profile presented in this report represents a much broader and inclusive definition
of occupations utilizing a STEM skill set in performing their job roles than previous definitions. As already noted,
the shift to recognize more occupations within the formal definition of the STEM workforce is aligned with the
national conversation around how to better understand and recognize the broader STEM world of work. Aligning
Virginia’s definition of STEM with this current thinking more accurately reflects the realities of the broader use
of Science- and Engineering-infused skill sets by 21st century workers spanning multiple industries and changing
work environments. For these reasons, VOEE supports adoption by Virginia of the broader workforce profile
proposed in this report.

VOEE recognizes that the proposed profile could further benefit from creation of subcategories based on
characteristics within each of the three STEM worker groups. Increasing granularity to the worker groups would
serve to further refine the overall workforce profile and likely provide opportunity for additional analysis, including
incorporating the measurement of in-demand skills requested by regional employers for these more specific
subgroups of STEM workers. The intent of this report and the accompanying analysis via the supplemental data
file is to provide a baseline perspective on STEM that others interested may build upon and reference as part of
future work and analysis related to better representing and understanding the STEM workforce and its importance
to Virginia, its industries, and residents. To that end, the authors hope this report has positively contributed.
