Early-Career
NCAR is committed to providing professional development and training to our early-career staff and visitors, and supporting them in their career growth. NCAR Education, Engagement and Early-Career Development (EdEC) has a mission to coordinate and increase opportunities for professional development and training of early-career staff and provide early-career scientists a single location for resources and support available to them. EdEC staff will partner with the Early-Career Scientist Assembly (ECSA) to identify the continuing education needs in the early-career workforce and provide partnership opportunities with UCAR for additional training resources.
