The YES Network and the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) will be hosting a townhall meeting at the 2011 European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna, Austria from 19:00-20:00 on April 5. This event will aim to address some of the key factors in aligning graduate aspirations with employer needs. There will be a panel of speakers including representatives from geoscience early-career networks, geoscience employers, recent geoscience graduates, and current geoscience students. Further information can be found here.
The discussion will be drawing on experience and knowledge gleaned from the 2010-2011 responses to the YES Network Decision Points Survey. The meeting will identify aspirations and employment requirements as well aims to improve graduate-industry communication.
The townhall meeting will be a live web-cast. Web-based participation is being provided for free by the American Geological Institute (AGI). Registration details are posted on the YES Network’s website: http://www.networkyes.org/index.php/meetings/egu_2011/ . This is a unique opportunity, whether you are attending EGU or are participating remotely via the weblink. Hope to see you there!
