Early Career Workshop

The Science Mission Directorate hosted the pilot of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate’s New Hires virtual workshop May 19-20, 2022. This was a new workshop to introduce new hires (the last 1-3 years) at NASA Centers to career opportunities and the big picture of NASA science. The creation of this workshop was a recommendation of the 2021 Agency Science Workforce Study. Our goal is for workshop participants to broaden their networks outside their local organization and leave with tools and resources that allow them to be more intentional with their career trajectory.
