Abbott is a global healthcare leader that helps people live more fully at all stages of life. Our portfolio of life-changing technologies spans the spectrum of healthcare, with leading businesses and products in diagnostics, medical devices, nutritionals and branded generic medicines. Our 109,000 colleagues serve people in more than 160 countries.

At Abbott, we believe today’s students are tomorrow’s inventors and innovators. That’s why we strive to inspire and train young people to pursue careers in STEM – science, technology, engineering and math. We believe offering STEM education opportunities and mentoring to students when they’re young will increase the likelihood of their success later.

Another important focus for us is expanding diversity in the world’s STEM fields and our STEM talent pipeline. Women and people from diverse communities are underrepresented in STEM. That’s why our educational and internship programs seek to provide opportunities for students from underrepresented groups so they can discover the wonders of science and engineering – and the tremendous opportunities that exist for them in STEM careers.
