Best Practices for Preparing Workforce and Transfer Students in Two-Year Colleges for Geoscience Careers
A short course and workshop coordinated by Eric Baer and Bob Blodgett, co-sponsored by NAGT and COSEE, and part of the SAGE 2YC project which is funded by the National Science Foundation. This course will be from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday, November 3, 2012 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Participants
will explore successful 2YC college transfer and geotechnical workforce
programs and practices, effective student research and internship
programs, and geoscience career resources for two-year college (2YC)
students and faculty. Discussion will also include strategies for easily
and effectively incorporating career information and professional
