Creation and Collaborations

The MiSTEM GIS workgroup is a collaborative effort between a variety of stakeholders from around Michigan. The workgroup is piloting a Michigan industry cluster, key occupation, internship, apprenticeship, and job map for the MiSTEM's Greater West Michigan region of Allegan, Kent, Montcalm, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Ottawa counties.

This tool will help adults, students, parents, and community members quickly filter, sort, and analyze data in STEM industries by county to visualize industry clusters, job data, and opportunities. The MiSTEM Story Map uses ArcGIS software as a platform to create, manage, share and analyze data. This is a unique mapping tool that can provide a spatial perspective by adding location-based data.
