最近，越来越多的人对增加进入科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）职业的人数感兴趣。这种“供应方”模式的主要问题之一是，它将STEM劳动力发展狭隘地视为投入之一（招聘），忽视了STEM工作的实践，这影响了STEM职业中专业人员的保留。根据职业发展的最新研究和理论，我们研究了一个组织新雇用的工程师的工作经验。一个关键的发现是，他们的经验的一个主要部分涉及组织工作和社会动态之外的许多人认为是“真正的真实的”工程工作。我们建议这些经验为STEM工作者的教育和保留提供重要的见解。利益相关者在高等教育的教师，准备干工人，在雇用新的干工人的组织管理人员，和有抱负的干工人。
The Problem Recently there has been a growing interest to increase the number of people entering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. One of the major problems with this “supply-side” model is that it sees STEM workforce development narrowly as one of inputs (recruitment) and ignores the practice of STEM work, which affects the retention of professionals in STEM careers. The Solution Informed by recent research and theory on career development, we studied the work experiences of newly hired engineers in one organization. A key finding is that a major part of their experiences involved organizational work and social dynamics outside of what many considered to be “real” engineering work. We propose that these experiences provide important insights for the education and retention of STEM workers. The Stakeholders Faculty in higher education that prepare STEM workers, managers in organizations that hire new STEM workers, and aspiring STEM workers.
