Professional Workforce Development
National Summer Transportation Institutes (NSTI)
In an effort to support the development of a diverse, well-qualified workforce for the 21st century transportation industry, the National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) Program serves to increase awareness and stimulate interest in transportation to middle and high school students. NSTI is a two to four-week Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) – focused program that exposes students to the transportation and encourages them to pursue transportation-related courses of study at the college and university level.
Institutions of higher education host students to introduce them to all modes of transportation. Accredited colleges and universities are selected as host sites upon application to a State DOT, which provides oversight along with program support and guidance from the FHWA Division Office.
