The Strategic Twin Counties Education Partnership—STEP for short—is a unique initiative between several stakeholder groups in Edgecombe and Nash counties, including local industries, two county school systems, and two community colleges. This cradle-to-career effort seeks to build a talent pipeline by ensuring that young people in both counties are exposed to, and fully prepared for, the 21st-century jobs their region has to offer.
