Workforce development in quantum information science and engineering (QISE) is important for continued leadership in this emerging area, and for empowering high technology industries of the future. To explore and facilitate pathways for careers in QISE, this project will support a workshop. It will bring together graduate students and colleagues from a network of NSF-funded Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes (QLCI). There will be opportunities to engage with representatives from several dozen companies and potential employers in QISE related industries, and to discuss salient issues in career development for early professionals in QISE. Participants will build professional connections and relationships with peers that support workforce development and future collaborations for emerging scientists and engineers across the growing quantum ecosystem. The QLCI Leap Forward Career Conference is scheduled for April 11-12, 2024, in Chicago, Illinois. The first day will facilitate a larger number of QLCI student trainees from across the nation to participate in the Chicago Quantum Exchange 2024 Quantum Recruiting Forum. Both days will include QLCI-focused and student-focused programming to elucidate career pathways and strategies for career development in QISE-related areas. Engagement with representatives from the Quantum Economic Development Consortium and representatives from several QLCI projects will provide participants with a broad range of perspectives and opportunities. The NSF conference grant will partially defray travel costs so that a larger number of QLCI trainees and students will have the opportunity to participate and build relationships with potential employers. Attendees will learn from quantum-focused industry professionals, faculty, researchers, and near peers (e.g., graduate students and postdocs). A key objective of the QLCI Leap Forward Career Conference is for QLCI students and trainees to advance their knowledge of professional and research opportunities within the QLCI network and in the broader ecosystem of quantum information science and engineering.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.

量子信息科学与工程（QISE）中的劳动力发展对于在这个新兴领域的持续领导以及赋予未来高科技行业的能力很重要。为了探索和促进Qise职业的途径，该项目将支持研讨会。它将从NSF资助的Quantum Leap Institutes（QLCI）网络中汇集研究生和同事。将有机会与来自Qise相关行业的数十家公司和潜在雇主的代表互动，并讨论Qise早期专业人士职业发展中的显着问题。参与者将与同行建立专业的联系和关系，以支持劳动力发展和未来的合作，以在不断增长的量子生态系统中为新兴的科学家和工程师提供合作。 QLCI LEAP向前职业会议定于2024年4月11日至124日在伊利诺伊州的芝加哥举行。第一天将促进来自全国各地的更多QLCI学生学员参加芝加哥量子交易所2024量子招聘论坛。这两天都将包括以QLCI为中心的和以学生为中心的节目，以阐明与Qise相关地区的职业发展途径和策略。 与量子经济发展联盟的代表和几个QLCI项目的代表的交往将为参与者提供广泛的观点和机会。 NSF会议赠款将部分支付旅行费用，以使更多的QLCI受训人员和学生将有机会参与与潜在雇主的关系。与会者将向注重量子的行业专业人士，教职员工，研究人员和附近的同伴学习（例如研究生和博士后）。 QLCI飞跃前进职业会议的一个关键目标是QLCI学生和受训者在QLCI网络中以及更广泛的量子信息科学和工程学生态系统中促进他们对专业和研究机会的了解。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用该基金会的知识优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并通过评估有价值。
