, to estimate the expected total numberof delayed months, including: 1-3 months, 4-6 months, 7-9 months, 10-12 months, and morethan one year. In terms of the career outcome, we evaluated students’ job search self-efficacy byasking three questions [25]: “Since the COVID-19 outbreak occurred, how confident have youbecome in finding (1) the job for which you are qualified? (2) a job in a company/institution thatyou prefer? (3) the job for which you are prepared?” The 5-point Likert scale was from -2 (muchless confident) to 2 (much more confident). The Cronbach’s alpha for these three job search self-efficacy items is .906. The measure for mental health outcome, which focused on symptoms ofdepression and anxiety, asked students if in the last 7

developed to capture studentbeliefs in their academic and professional abilities, with the following constructs of interest: Self-Efficacy scales developed specifically for engineering [11] and for entrepreneurship [12];Innovation scales to measure creativity, teamwork, initiative and networking [13]. Additionaltracking includes participation in Bootcamps, use of Ventureprise Center Modules, and attainmentof Entrepreneurship Certificates, along with learning outcomes measures within each.Formative evaluation measures such as pulse-check polls, are deployed periodically amongstakeholders: faculty advisors rate the approach, students rate their experiences, and projectleaders and Advisory Board members provide pulse checks about the process, progress

Participants’ perceived self-efficacy for aspects of professionaldevelopment was measured with a 5-point scale (Table 4). Overall, participants agreed that they wereconfident about research-related tasks and ethics (e.g., responsible conduct of research, lab safety, labmanagement, presentations); and their confidence overall increased slightly over time.

students,specifically, are often told to prioritize their research role over their educator role [61], despitethe demonstrated benefits of being in the educator role. For example, the experience of teachingleads to higher self-efficacy and effectiveness as an educator [62]–[65]. Additionally, graduatestudents’ experimental design and hypothesis generation skills improved from teaching aboutinquiry [61]. The benefits of serving in an educator role may be attractors to the educatoridentity. Graduate students serving in the role of an educator through involvement in scienceeducational outreach has been examined (e.g., [66]–[72]), with demonstrated benefits for K-12student participants, such as increased interest and positive views of science

A recent review by Jianget al. provides an excellent and comprehensive review of the literature on career exploration andsuggests a future research agenda [18]. Interestingly, the authors of this review identifiedinvestigating the real-time experiences of individuals engaging in career exploration as adesirable aspect of future research, which should also adopt a longitudinal design.Lynch et al. have previously described a Preparing Future

been proven again and again to bepoor indicators of success in graduate school, particularly in research-based degree programs;and instead, are better predictors of gender and race/ethnicity. Likewise, research tells us that astudent’s GPA is a result of a wide variety of factors in addition to academic potential, includinggender, race, first generation status, and socioeconomic standing [24-29].Alternatively, several better indicators have now been correlated with graduate school success inresearch-based degree programs, including self-efficacy, perseverance, motivation, and a passionfor research and prior research experience [30-34]. A holistic application review process thatfocuses on these evidence-based metrics of success with a de
