Two of the partners in the schol- arship effort, ACC and AIChE, are also launching a workforce devel- opment and mentoring program to support growth, promotion, and advancement of underrepresented groups into leadership positions within the broader chemical indus- try. The focus will be on early-career candidates with less than 5 years of experience as well as senior lead- ership with a minimum of 10 years of experience to develop C-level candidates. The workforce develop- ment efforts are part of larger efforts already underway for equity and diversity at ACC and AIChE. ACC, Washington, DC, is an industry group that represents com- panies in the chemistry business. (FOSSI). FOSSI is planned as the rst of several efforts to address the needs of underrepresented groups with a goal to support 150 students majoring in STEM at HBCUs in the initiative's rst year. The project's founding partners outside of HBCU Week Foundation include the Amer- ican Chemistry Council (ACC), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and Chemours. HBCU Week Foundation will serve as the scholarship admin- istrator for the initiative. As of December 2020, the scholarship fund had achieved $4.6 million toward an initial funding goal of $7.2 million in 2021. The effort also has multiyear pledges totaling more than $10 million, including $5 million from Chemours and $1.9 million from Dow.
