Our November cover story focuses on the myriad ways New Jersey’s colleges and universities are addressing the workforce’s shortage of people trained in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines. Other, separate feature articles in this issue examine: top contracting firms; small business winter energy-saving tips; forensic accounting; Rutgers University’s 250^th anniversary; and brownfield remediation in urban cores. This edition also includes two special sections: “Profiles in Success” and “Building Trade Unions.”
