项目摘要

Although geoscience professions have evolved with geoscience research and technology, different skills and competencies are needed by graduate students to be successful in the non-academic workforce. The investigators propose to determine the skills and competencies that should be part of graduate geoscience education, and the best means of developing these in graduate geoscience programs nationally. They will build on accomplishments from their previous initiative "The Future of Undergraduate Geoscience Education". This effort worked with geoscience employers and academics to identify skills, competencies and concepts needed by undergraduates to be successful in graduate school and the future workforce. Department heads and Chairs from across the country developed action plans for incorporating these results into their departments' undergraduate programs. For this activity, the investigators will hold an Employers Workshop with participants that span the breadth of geoscience professions to define the skills and competencies geoscience graduate students need to be successful in the workforce more broadly than academia. They will invite a range of employers from those actively involved in recruiting new hires to senior executives. Subsequently the investigators will organize a summit for departmental heads, chairs, and graduate program directors to discuss ways to implement change in individual departments and programs. Participants will be invited from a broad spectrum of earth, ocean, and atmospheric science programs at Masters and PhD granting institutions. An important outcome will be the transformation of graduate level curriculum for geoscience programs to better align course offerings and activities with future professional needs of earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences students.

虽然地球科学专业随着地球科学研究和技术的发展而发展，但研究生需要不同的技能和能力才能在非学术劳动力中取得成功。研究人员建议确定应该成为研究生地球科学教育一部分的技能和能力，以及在全国研究生地球科学课程中发展这些技能和能力的最佳方法。他们将在之前的倡议“本科地球科学教育的未来”的基础上取得成就。这项工作与地球科学雇主和学者合作，确定本科生在研究生院和未来劳动力中取得成功所需的技能、能力和概念。来自全国各地的系主任和系主任制定了行动计划，将这些结果纳入他们部门的本科课程。在这项活动中，研究人员将与来自地球科学专业的参与者举行雇主研讨会，以确定地球科学研究生在更广泛的劳动力市场中取得成功所需的技能和能力。他们将邀请一系列雇主，从积极招聘新员工的雇主到高级管理人员。随后，调查人员将组织一次由部门负责人、主席和研究生项目主任参加的峰会，讨论如何在各个部门和项目中实施变革。与会者将从硕士和博士授予机构的广泛的地球、海洋和大气科学项目中被邀请。一个重要的成果将是对地球科学研究生课程的改革，使课程设置和活动更好地符合地球、海洋和大气科学学生未来的专业需求。
