The latest winners of the Equipping the 2015 Chemical Technology Workforce mini-grants were announced at the ACS 237th National Meeting in Salt Lake City, UT. The $500 mini-grants help members of industry, academia, workforce development groups, and professional organizations implement activities that support the education or professional development of the over 350,000 applied chemical technology professionals in the chemical enterprise.
Equipping the 2015 Chemical Technology Workforce is proud to help support these activities:
Arizona Laboratory for Emerging Contaminants at the University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ) for an all-day workshop on the latest techniques in analyzing local water for pharmaceuticals and other persistent organic contaminants. Students, technicians, and other academic and industry representatives will have the opportunity to interact and learn about these emerging hazards. Contacts made during the workshop will be used to form a Water Chemistry Alliance.
Bidwell Training Center (Pittsburgh, PA) for an all-day student retreat to focus on employability skills. The retreat will feature a panel discussion with industry representatives, resume reviews, and mock interviews. Students will have the opportunity to interact with local employers and learn about industry needs.
The deadline for the next round of mini-grants is Monday, 20 July 2009. Winners of the second round of 2009 mini-grants will be announced at the 238th ACS National Meeting in Washington, DC.
