Mind the Gap Workshop
In many meteorology and atmospheric science programs, students interested in private sector careers experience a gap between the curricular examples and pedagogical tools they see, and the skills/background needed for employment. This NSF-sponsored workshop will facilitate collaboration between academia and the private sector to develop pedagogical modules, tools, and datasets to promote future innovations within the weather, water, and climate enterprise.
The 2nd Mind the Gap workshop will be held June 15-17, 2022, at the University at Albany in Albany, NY. There will also be a handful virtual workshop prep meetings leading to in-person meeting.

The program hopes they can accommodate everyone who applies to join them! They can support (airfare/meals/hotel) about 70 participants representing people in academia, the private sector, students, early career, public sectors, etc.
