TM4 - Career Development: How Can We Integrate Graduate and Employer Needs?
Date: 5 April 2011
Time: 19:00 - 20:00 (Vienna, Austria)
This townhall meeting will aim to address some of the key factors in aligning graduate aspirations with employer needs. We will have a panel of speakers that include representatives from geoscience early-career networks (e.g. YES Network - www.networkyes.org, and the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists - www.apecs.is ), representatives from geoscience employers, recent geoscience graduates, and current geoscience students.
We will be drawing on experience and knowledge gleaned from the YES Network's Decision Points survey that has been running since late 2010. This meeting will not only identify aspirations and requirements, but also aims to improve graduate-industry communication via future actions identified during this meeting.
The town hall meeting will be a live web-cast. Web-based participation is free. Registration details are posted on the YES Network's website:
