URM Talent Acquisition, Retention and Career Development in STEM Private Sectors
-
There is widespread recognition of the value in building diverse
talent in industry, but there are also significant challenges for
recruiting and retaining underrepresented minorities (URM). Several science
and technology companies have responded by enhancing their recruiting
practices to improve the diversity of their talent pool as well as
developing strategies to retain URMs through career development plans. The
goals of this half-day symposium are to: 1) share what each company is
doing to build diverse talent, 2) provide students with a broad view of
opportunities to build their network with industrial scientists and
engineers, and 3) maximize students’ potential to be successful in the job
search process by providing insights into life in industry and the graduate
recruiting process.
