As a graduate student who has been an advocate both in ACS Governance and at the University level, there have been lots of observations made as to how new/recent graduates are struggling to get into new careers after their studies. As the population of young, qualified chemical professionals continues to grow, it is important to find solutions to this problem.<br/><br/>This presentation will discuss areas like holistic career advising and soft skills training where younger chemists are currently lacking and put forward a few steps as possible solutions.
