2012 DOE-Sponsored National Laboratories Professional Development Workshop for Underrepresented Participants, Livermore, CA., June 14-15, 2012, Evaluation Report.

DE141150021

Publication Date	2012
Personal Author	Geier, S.; Taylor, V.
Page Count	24
Abstract	The evaluation included three surveys administered during the two day workshop (pre-workshop, post sessions, and post workshop). Using a combination of rating scales and open-ended items, workshop surveys were designed to gather participants: (1) demographics, (2) interest in careers at the national laboratories, (3) perceptions of factors that are important to their career decisions, (4) experiences with mentoring and the role of mentoring and institutional support in their professional development and 5) perceptions of their knowledge and abilities related to their career progression, including their knowledge and experiences with value creation and the proposal submission process prior to the workshop. Participants were also asked about the value and relevance of the individual workshop sessions, as well as their overall impression of participating in a workshop for underrepresented minorities focused on the National Laboratories. Of particular interest are the participants perceptions of why careers at the national laboratories may or may not fit in their current and future career plans.
