Vision

The COACh vision is to ensure that all who seek careers in science and engineering have an equal opportunity to achieve their career aspirations and become leaders and role models for the next generation of scientists and engineers to come.

Approach

COACh efforts take a two-pronged approach: to provide career building and career development workshops for under-represented groups in STEM and to assist institutions in their STEM diversity and inclusion efforts. Research and program assessment has been a hallmark of COACh's approach over the years. The COACh research team is engaged in survey and interview research that helps institutions to identify where problems exist; the team also assists the COACh Advisory Board in designing effective programs and assesses the short- and long-term impact of its programs. Career-building workshops include training in leadership, negotiation, effective scientific and workplace communication, mentorship, networking, entrepreneurship, career launch, publishing and grant writing.
