From mgcains at ucar.edu Wed Mar 5 08:00:00 2025 From: mgcains at ucar.edu (Mariana Cains) Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2025 08:00:00 -0700 Subject: [Nsa] Calling All Career Stages: Help Shape NSF NCAR Early-Career Professional Development Message-ID: Hello, NSA members, If you haven't done so already, the EdEC invites you to take a 5 minute survey to help shape NSF NCAR early-career professional development. The goal of this Early-Career Professional Development Survey is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the early-career training needs of our scientific and technical staff by gathering input from individuals at all career stages and various levels within the organization. Input from early and later career professionals will help us identify and address the specific training needs of our scientific and technical early-career staff at NSF NCAR. This survey will help us identify areas of greatest need for professional development and guide us in determining where to best focus our limited resources moving forward. *The survey closes Tuesday March 11th at 5pm MT*. Click here to take the survey! What: Through the survey we aim to identify: - the skills and training early-career professionals feel they currently lack, - the training that later career staff wish they had received earlier in their careers, and - insights from supervisors on the skills their supervisees/staff need to develop to advance in their careers. Why: The findings from this survey will play a crucial role in shaping professional development initiatives tailored to enhance the advancement and success of early-career staff at NSF NCAR. EdEC staff and co-leads for the Early-Career Development section will use the study findings to design and implement targeted training programs for early-career staff. If you have any questions, please reach out to me, Mariana Cains ( mgcains at ucar.edu).
