Help the National Science Foundation Build a Prototype that will Shape the Future Workforce!

Dear Colleagues:

We wanted to share this exciting opportunity with you. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has just launched the second part of the NSF Career Compass Challenge! Five winning concepts from Part 1 of the challenge, that can be seen here, aim to help the NSF workforce, and beyond, plot a path for changing careers or identify how to move forward in their current career path, while also facilitating continuous reskilling. For part 2 of the challenge, NSF is looking for participants to build a working prototype based off these concepts. The winning prototype will receive a one-time prize of $75,000.

NSF is looking to spark the thinking of the best and brightest to co-create a tool that can be tested on a small scale, for NSF, but is intended to be useful to a broad range of employers in both the public and private sectors. Please join this exciting opportunity for the general public, research communities, private sector and other interested stakeholders to assist with building a solution that will invest in the future of the U.S. workforce!

Think you might be interested in participating in Part 2? NSF will host a webinar on April 26 to share more about participation in Part 2 of the challenge. Stay tuned to the NSF Career Compass Challenge page here for details on how to attend.
