WASHINGTON (Scrap Monster) : The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries  (ISRI) and Jason Learning  have joined hands to build a launch pad to grand career in recycling.

The partnership aims to inspire America's students to think about careers in the scrap and recycling business, and give them the scientific and technical background that such jobs require. ISRI and Jason will together develop a curriculum to this effect.

According to ISRI, the industry needs people trained in science, engineering and technology to invent and perfect new processes to recycle even more of the waste, and to build the machines to get it done.

As part of their collaboration, ISRI members will invite school classes studying the Jason’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ( STEM) curriculum to visit scrap yards and recycling facilities, see their work in action, and learn how what many call 'junk' is actually a valuable resource, as well as a real-life science experiment.

The visits will be the culmination of a standards-based curriculum module developed by JASON Learning and ISRI to education students about multiple scientific, technological and engineering disciplines and how they are applied in a real-world industry.

The trade association- ISRI, represents more than 1,600 for-profit companies – ranging from small, family-owned businesses to large, multi-national corporations -- operating at more than 6,000 facilities in the United States and 30 countries worldwide.

Jason Learning is a non-profit organization that connects students to real science and exploration to inspire and motivate them to study and pursue careers.
