Exploring Alignment Among Employer Expectations

项目摘要

EHR Core ResearchWorkforce DevelopmentThis project focuses on workplace expectations for STEM related competencies and the subsequent design of educational curricula in postsecondary institutions and STEM education interventions. It responds to the need to produce empirical evidence regarding employer expectations in STEM related fields that would enable the integration of these expectations into educational practice. Thus, the project goals are to (1) identify employer expectations for the types of skills, knowledge, and competencies required for success; (2) ascertain the degree to which these expectations are integrated into the design of educational curricula and STEM education interventions; and (3) explore the implications of employer desires for hard and soft skills for the postsecondary curriculum. These issues will be examined in regard to the advanced manufacturing and biotechnology industries within the State of Wisconsin. It expands a small-scale study on these topics that was launched in 2012 by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Education and Work. That study draws on a sociotechnical theory of organizations by focusing on the ways in which successful employees are able to bring a variety of skills and competencies obtained through their education to navigate workplace complexities and maximize their performance. The PIs will use a comparative qualitative case study design where in-depth interviews

EHR核心研究劳动力发展该项目侧重于工作场所对STEM相关能力的期望，以及随后专上机构教育课程的设计和STEM教育干预措施。它回应了需要提供关于STEM相关领域雇主期望的经验证据，以便能够将这些期望纳入教育实践。因此，该项目的目标是(1)确定雇主对成功所需的技能、知识和能力类型的期望；(2)确定这些期望在多大程度上被纳入教育课程和STEM教育干预措施的设计；以及(3)探索雇主对中学后课程硬技能和软技能的渴望的影响。这些问题将在威斯康星州的先进制造业和生物技术工业方面进行审查。它扩大了威斯康星大学麦迪逊教育和工作中心于2012年发起的一项关于这些主题的小规模研究。这项研究借鉴了组织的社会技术理论，重点关注成功员工如何能够将通过教育获得的各种技能和能力带到工作场所的复杂性中，并最大限度地提高绩效。PIs将使用比较定性的案例研究设计，其中深入访谈
