Raytheon is largest employer in Aurora and our students do not know us. \nShades of Blue has offered to support Raytheon to get the word out and have the ERG organizations go to the schools to show off Raytheon\, give a road show\, be a role model\, tell the students what it takes to be an engineer\, discuss opportunities and show off the diversity within Raytheon. \nAs a national sponsor of MATHCOUNTS and a creator of its own MathMoveU program\, Raytheon is committed to reversing the trend around the nations decline of math and science skills. In order to help our company meet this goal\, RAYBEN (Raytheon Black Employees Network) will continue to support Shades of Blue in getting tomorrow`s engineers and technologists excited by and interested in math today. We will engage school students by illustrating the connection between math and science\, their passions and interests and “cool” careers. We are asking that the other ERG`s consider joining RAYBEN in this support.
