Alan November on 18 Jun 12"ExxonMobil Math and Science Initiative graduate in cap and gown We rely on technology and innovation in every part of our business, and knowledge of math and science is critical in the energy sector. We employ more than 14,000 scientists and engineers to help produce and deliver energy supplies safely, reliably, and affordably. The technological innovations necessary to facilitate human progress and meet key challenges in the years ahead will require a global workforce highly skilled in fields making use of math and science. Excellence in math and science education is directly correlated to the ability of countries to successfully compete and prosper in the global community of the 21st century. For example, the United States ranks behind other countries in terms of the proportion of students who perform well in math and science and pursue degrees in these subjects. Many teachers in the United States do not have the benefit of strong content knowledge and training specific to mathematics and science."
