Supporting STEMM professionals or students is important to you — and you know the path isn’t always easy, or clear
You are a leader who wants to make a difference
Even though STEMM jobs are projected to grow 8.8% by 2029, many STEMM professionals feel lost and confused about their career options and report a lack of support in career planning.
What can you do about it?
Career services at colleges
There is a lot of pressure on career services to help graduates and staff develop a career path following graduation. Students demand a service that provides results. However, with an average of 6500 graduates a year per college, providing targeted advice to each student can strain resources. If graduates fail to land a job that matches their skills, interests and level of education, they’ll question the quality of their college, leaving unfavourable reviews that damage the reputation of the institution. It’s not like you need to hand out jobs with degrees… but you can set them up for success when you have a little support.
Skills development for Faculty members
Even though they’re brilliant in their areas of expertise, many college professors have never been properly trained to lead their research groups. Learning how to best support their team takes time, adds additional burden and distracts from research work that bring funding and improves the general ranking of the college.
Additionally, with fewer faculty positions, PhDs and postdocs seek positions outside of academia and they need help to navigate new dynamics. Academics may not have resources and time to facilitate career planning, so having access to an experienced career guide can be a significant advantage and sought-after perk.
