Career Development Projects

Description

Young members of the American Geophysical Union have taken the lead in developing and implementing a novel program to address the career concerns of AGU members. These activities include career development workshops held at AGU meetings, a workshop on reforming graduate education in the geosciences, the acquisition of detailed statistics on the applicant pool, and the publication of "To Boldly Go: A Practical Career Guide for Scientists."

A revised and updated second edition is available as Put Your Science to Work: The Take-Charge Career Guide for Scientists.
