Afterreviewing all responses, we analyzed the survey data and presented the results to the EMleadership team at the lead institution, along with college-based staff associated with EM. Basedon the survey responses, student demographics revealed a high percentage of students whoidentified as Black (38%), first-generation (81%), low-income (62%), and having a disability(43%), which underscores the program’ success in reaching underserved populations.ResultsAcademic backgroundsWe asked students about their academic background—i.e., questions about their academic plans,how they learned about the program, and why they chose to join

using the career construction theory [5], which underscores personal meaning of one’slived experiences, constructing careers through a sense of meaning, and clarifying plans. Threecomponents contribute to this theory: vocational personality (or career identity), careeradaptability, and life themes. Vocational personality is a person’s career-related abilities and interests, and pertains to how an individual constructs a career. Careeradaptability allows the person to construct a career that pertains to what career they desire. Lifethemes, the third component, deal with why a person selects that career. These themes emergethrough one’s lived experiences and personal stories and are often connected to one’s personalityand purpose. Career

Thirty of 64 counties in our state are described as “educationaldeserts,” and only 49.9% of high school graduates enter post-secondary education—compared tothe national average of 61.8% [34],[35]. The state’s economy is relatively resilient and growing,but its workforce is supplied by inward migration of talent from other states [32]. The state’s2017 higher education master plan sets targets including to increase credential completion,improve student success, and invest in affordability and innovation [38].

Overall, 41 percent of all undergraduatesattend community college [5].First generation students make up almost one-third of all undergraduates and are more likely toattend community college [8], [9]. Additionally, first generation students with low-incomebackgrounds and an underrepresented racial identity often have less personal experience inacademic planning and are aware of fewer academic and career opportunities.

The participant did not believe the SPECTRAprogram inspired any changes in his career plans, but his participation opened doors to careers hewas interested in and made him a desirable candidate to prospective employers. I don't think without SPECTRA, I wouldn't have had much to speak about with prior experiences. Because of- so many people in the job market, wanting to have prior experience to- or prior experiences of being an engineer when there's not many opportunities to be an engineer without getting your hands into something. And so SPECTRA was a nice pathway into being able to utilize that. And the only
