摘要:Workplace skills are critical for student success following graduation. Students gain a great many of these workplace skills from college experiences. Classroom projects and guest speakers, interactions with professors and advisors, networking, and belonging to student clubs can all help students gain the workplace skills they will need to succeed. Meetings and conferences are another way to gain valuable workplace skills. While research-based conferences for students, both graduate and undergraduate, are relatively common, it is quite rare for students to attend meetings or conferences designed principally for audiences of industry professionals. This pilot study aims to better understand the specific workplace skills that students learn and observe during the professional meetings and conferences they attend.
