SUMMARY:WHPC@SC23 – Strength in Unity:  Fostering Tech Career Persistence
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne Parete-Koon (Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL))\n\n
 With regard to diversity, many of us start our careers in computing with e
 nthusiasm and potential, but as we progress through different career stage
 s, our representation dwindles. In simpler terms, we're well-represented i
 n the early stages of our careers but less so as we advance. In this discu
 ssion, I'd like to share insights I've gained from facilitating the ECP Hi
 gh-Performance Computing Workforce Development and Retention Action (HPC-W
 DR) Group’s Workforce Development Webinar series. The mission of the ECP-H
 PC-WDR Action Group was to enable DOE national laboratories and their rela
 ted computing communities to share their collective insight for inclusive 
 and equitable workforce development and retention for high-performance com
 puting.\n\nThe goal of this session is to have an open conversation with a
 ll of you about how we can foster a sense of belonging in our workplaces o
 r schools and develop a strong identity within the scientific or technical
  domain. We're focusing on these aspects because research shows they signi
 ficantly influence how long students stay in their majors and how long pro
 fessionals continue in their careers.\n\nFor this discussion, we're all pa
 nelists. I invite you to come prepared to share your experiences on what m
 otivates you to persist in your career and your ideas on how we can create
  a supportive community that not only encourages our persistence but also 
 transforms our institutions. Together, we'll explore solutions for better 
 workplace retention among minority groups in computing.\n\nTag: State of t
 he Practice\n\nRegistration Category: Workshop Reg Pass\n\nSession Chairs:
  Elsa J. Gonsiorowski (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)) and 
 Mozhgan Kabiri chimeh (NVIDIA Corporation)\n\n
