"While more than 81 percent of FIRST alumni declare majors in STEM by their fourth year of college, we know that FIRST experience enables a variety of post high school education, employment, enlistment, and entrepreneurial opportunities. Thanks to Timken's support, we can help prepare even more young people today for the world of tomorrow."</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Along with additional information on the FIRST partnership and other educational initiatives, Timken shares in the report how it's advancing a culture that helps employees grow as professionals and thrive as individuals.
