PROGRESS Highlights
Graduation Congratulations!
Congratulations to our recent PROGRESS graduates! The state of geoscience employment is looking very positive, with a 10-14% forecast growth between 2016-2026. The American Geosciences Institute recently released its report on the “Status of Recent Geoscience Graduates 2017” that can be viewed here.
Geoscience Workforce Infographic
The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) developed this infographic to help students entering the workforce redefine what it means to have a career in geoscience. Having a successful geoscience career is not solely about mastering the technical fields of study, but additionally includes how students seamlessly integrate their interests and competencies to build a professional portfolio that will bolster their geoscience career. Recognizing the importance of emphasizing the transferability of skills across different fields is imperative to students’ employability as geoscientists. This image is not meant to be definitive, but used as a tool to help those entering the workforce think outside the box. The colored rings signify the different sectors where geoscientists work. The wedges, in turn, represent the fields where geoscientists are employed and include different examples of occupations. Where the wedges intersect with the rings indicate that those fields are included in those sectors. To learn about workforce trends in the geosciences, check out the AGI Geoscience Currents!
