DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the Immersion Program to Advance Career Training (ImPACT) is to provide trainees in the biomedical sciences with the knowledge and skills that they need to make informed career decisions and successfully navigate the path toward the career of their choice. To achieve this goal, we propose to develop a new training curriculum that consists of three Focus Areas: 1) Biotech, Business, and Entrepreneurship, 2) Policy, Nonprofits, and Government, and 3) Higher Education. These Focus Areas will support skills training for the full spectrum of careers both outside and inside academia. We will collaborate with internal and external partners to develop the training components for each Focus Area, which will include 1) professional skills training through workshops and optional related coursework, 2) an experiential learning opportunity that will include short-term job shadowing opportunities and/or more extensive externship opportunities, 3) networking and professional development opportunities at local universities, institutions, and businesses, and 4) a small-group coaching program to help trainees implement Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and to create a supportive and collaborative environment for the job search. We will create Career Cohorts of trainees with similar career interests and use these small groups to administer program components such as IDP meetings and job search support. This structure will allow us to make this program available to all biomedical graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at UNC. We will carefully evaluate program components and trainee outcomes with the assistance of an external evaluator, and we will disseminate our findings to our peer institutions by attending conferences, publishing our work, and creating an innovative video website to share career information with trainees nationwide.

描述(由申请人提供)：推进职业培训(IMPACT)的沉浸式计划的目的是为生物医学科学的学员提供所需的知识和技能，使他们能够做出明智的职业决策，并成功地导航到他们选择的职业道路上。为了实现这一目标，我们建议开发一个新的培训课程，包括三个重点领域：1)生物技术、商业和创业；2)政策、非营利组织和政府；3)高等教育。这些重点领域将支持学术界内外各种职业的技能培训。我们将与内部和外部合作伙伴合作，为每个重点领域开发培训内容，包括1)通过研讨会和可选的相关课程进行专业技能培训，2)体验式学习机会，包括短期工作跟踪机会和/或更广泛的外聘机会，3)本地大学、机构和企业的网络和专业发展机会，以及4)小组辅导计划，以帮助学员实施个人发展计划，并为求职创造一个支持性和协作性的环境。我们将创建具有相似职业兴趣的受训人员职业队列，并使用这些小组来管理IDP会议和求职支持等项目组成部分。这一结构将允许我们将这个项目提供给北卡罗来纳大学所有生物医学研究生和博士后研究员。我们将在外部评估员的协助下仔细评估项目组成部分和学员成果，我们将通过参加会议、发布我们的工作并创建一个创新的视频网站与全国学员分享职业信息，将我们的调查结果传播给我们的同行机构。
