This paper will present the program design and research results from the first year. Usinga mixed methods approach, we sought to examine the extent to which graduate students’perceptions of communication confidence and awareness of STEM career opportunitiesimproved over the course of the program. We also aimed to measure their communication skillsto different audiences and obtain feedback on the most impactful program components. Dataincluded pre/post-surveys, focus groups, and

Obviously, practically everything is available online, this is a greatresource, but requires a lot of self-study to pick out the pearls of knowledge amongst all thevolumes of material to look at. Local distributors have trained sales professionals that cansummarize a lot of that data to deliver the main points. They are also a great resource for what’sgoing on in the industrial world, since they are exposed to so many different companies andindustries. And, one of the best ways to completely immerse yourself and go into as much detailas you could ever want, is to attend local and national trade shows.
