The categories are Attendance, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), Community Service, Academic Improvement, and Academic Excellence. Additionally, businesses engage students in a variety of work-related activities such as facility tours, industry presentations, career days, job shadowing, and internships.
