Abstract

Along with campus collaborators, the Colorado School of Mines library has facilitated a workshop series for graduate students since 2019. Recent developments inspired us to re-examine past workshop offerings in the context of career readiness. To understand strengths and weaknesses in workshop coverage, we compared our past offerings to frameworks from the Perkins Collaborative Research Network (PCRN) and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). The results of this effort highlight strengths and weaknesses of the workshop series as a whole and its composition of library-led topics and externally-led topics. This paper examines our analysis, the results of which will help guide future workshop topic selection to better prepare graduate students for their lives after graduation.
