This session presents findings from a NSF-funded study of college-to-career transitions among graduates in STEM. It describes the career priorities that graduates hold for their careers and implications for STEM talent acquisition and retention. The session is relevant to employers and university representatives who liaise with employers.
Learning Objectives:
Understand recent graduates' subjective career priorities from a current study of college-to-career transitions in STEM
Understand how graduates' career priorities can influence STEM talent acquisition and retention, including among diverse and underrepresented job candidates and employees
Engage in discussions with colleagues about the possible implications of the findings presented for employers and universities
