Building Capacity to Support Career Acceleration and STEM Workforce Development

建设能力以支持职业加速和 STEM 劳动力发展

基本信息

项目摘要

This project aims to serve the national interest by creating and then assessing the impact of a workshop series designed to engage students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups to consider entering the corporate world. The goal is to build the capacity of the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME) to advance knowledge related to broadening participation and STEM workforce development. NACME is the largest provider of scholarships for college students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups pursuing undergraduate engineering degrees. Through collaborations with partner institutions and corporate supporters across the country, NACME also provides students with other resources and professional development opportunities. Leveraging the NACME infrastructure, the project team will first develop a workshop series envisioned to better prepare students of color (e.g., African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans) to enter the corporate world. An internship will also be part of the activities. Concurrent with the operation of the series the project team will collect information from participants that can help companies improve student internship experiences. The workshop series will begin before students report to their internship assignments and participating interns will be introduced to coping techniques for navigating corporate environments, including potentially hostile workspaces.This project will engage an interdisciplinary team of STEM educators, social scientists, industry professionals, and event planners. The proposed activities will be grounded in Career Construction Theory (CCT). CCT is primarily used within career counseling spaces to help people cultivate and apply their vocational self-concept. The specific part of CCT that the research team will use is Career Adaptability Resources and Adapting Responses, which will represent the manner in which each intern is able to cope with workplace challenges and responsibilities. Over the course of the project, the research team will use a two-phase strategy to aid corporate sponsors with offering high-quality internship experiences. Phase 1 will focus on developing, delivering, and evaluating the professional development workshop that is central to this project. Phase 2 will focus on collecting and analyzing additional information about the internship experience from the perspective of the undergraduate students. The overarching goals are to (1) monitor students' development of adaptability resources, vocational identities, and organizational commitment during the internship period; (2) study how interventions offered by NACME impact the internship experience; and (3) identify areas of opportunities for corporate partners to improve the internship experience. These goals will be achieved through a pre-test, post-test quasi-experimental design, followed by in-depth interviews, that are intentionally integrated with the evaluation plan. The intellectual merit of the project lies in its potential to contribute to foundational knowledge related to providing inclusive and welcoming workspaces as students transition from academic settings to internships at technical companies. This project is funded by the NSF IUSE: EHR Program which supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through its Engaged Student Learning track, the IUSE program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该项目旨在通过创建并评估旨在吸引代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的学生来考虑的研讨会系列的影响来实现国家利益,以考虑进入企业界。目的是建立国家工程少数民族行动委员会(NACME)的能力,以提高与扩大参与和STEM劳动力发展有关的知识。 NACME是攻读本科工程学位的人数不足的种族/族裔群体的大学生的最大奖学金提供商。通过与全国合作机构和公司支持者的合作,NACME还为学生提供了其他资源和专业发展机会。该项目团队利用NACME基础设施,将首先开发一个研讨会系列,以更好地准备有色人种(例如非裔美国人,西班牙裔美国人,美国原住民)进入企业界。实习也将成为活动的一部分。与该系列的运作同时,项目团队将收集参与者的信息,以帮助公司改善学生的实习经验。研讨会系列将在学生报告实习任务之前开始,并将参与实习生介绍用于导航企业环境的应对技术,包括潜在的敌对工作空间。该项目将与STEM教育者,社会科学家,行业专业人士和活动计划者组成的跨学科团队。拟议的活动将基于职业建设理论(CCT)。 CCT主要用于职业咨询空间中,以帮助人们培养和运用其职业自我概念。研究团队将使用的CCT的具体部分是职业适应性资源和适应性响应,这将代表每个实习生能够应对工作场所挑战和责任的方式。在项目过程中,研究团队将使用两阶段的战略来帮助公司赞助商提供高质量的实习经验。第1阶段将着重于开发,交付和评估该项目至关重要的专业发展研讨会。第2阶段将着重于从本科生的角度收集和分析有关实习经验的其他信息。总体目标是(1)监测学生在实习期间的适应性资源,职业身份和组织承诺的发展; (2)研究NACME提供的干预措施如何影响实习经验; (3)确定公司合作伙伴改善实习经验的机会领域。这些目标将通过测试前,测试后的准实验设计,然后进行深入的访谈,并有意与评估计划集成。该项目的智力优点在于它的潜力有助于与提供包容性和热情的工作空间相关的基础知识,因为学生从学术环境过渡到技术公司的实习。该项目由NSF IUSE:EHR计划资助,该计划支持研发项目,以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。通过其参与的学生学习轨道,IUSE计划支持了有前途的实践和工具的创建,探索和实施。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务,并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估审查标准通过评估来支持的。
