The purpose of this investigation is to find out if the STEM crisis is just a myth or not, if not, my aim is to find out what is the cause of such a drastic shortage in the study fields included STEM (science, technology, services, arts, agriculture) .The STEM crisis is considered to be one of the most important issues America’s education systems and economy is facing and seems to be getting worse over the years. However, there some who call the shortage of STEM graduates and professionals a myth. There some professionals who believe the STEM crisis is not a myth and needs the attentions .Based on the idea that recent STEM graduates are having trouble getting a position in their fields of interests that are included in the STEM fields.

When interested in getting involved in the science field, there are a number of skills and techniques one needs to be useful at:
Taking stock of your skills:
The first step in improving your skill is figuring out what you’re good at and what needs to be improved. The myIDP skills assessment was designed to help you figure what you best at. Created specifically for scientists, this assessment includes the knowledge, skills, and abilities in graduate and postdoctoral training and needed to succeed in a research career. It also provides for skills that aren't a formal part of most doctoral science training but are important to achieving and keeping a wide range of science-related jobs. Originated from the National Postdoctoral Association's, the myIDP skills assessment has seven categories: scientific knowledge, research skills, communication, leadership and management, professionalism, responsible conduct of research, and career development.
Scientific Knowledge:
To succeed in any discipline you need to know the content. Scientist describes this as knowing both the detailed as well as the basic knowledge of science. This is however difficult because of the constant change in information as researches learn new things. So , to be competitive you need to gather new information about your field and identify a good research
