    Reimagining STEM Workforce Development As A Braided River
    (A contemporary approach to today’s science careers looks less like a structured pipeline and more like a collection of paths that change and adapt to the needs of the individual.)

    [disclaimer(s) – apart from a ‘stint’ covering a semester at MSU, I am not an education professional, with little knowledge of – say - K12. Further, I am not endorsing a specific approach, just sharing this paper and some of my personal thoughts from my professional experience(s).]
    H/T @Letters To A Pre-Scientist
    “The traditional “pipeline” model of workforce development - whereby an individual follows a fairly linear, predictable, and structured path through K–12, undergraduate, and graduate education into career-length government or academic positions - no longer captures the reality of a modern STEM [education and then] career. Nor does it represent the broad range of interdisciplinary and innovative opportunities that STEM professions now offer across a wide range of industries, nonprofits, and other organizations. The pipeline model has also contributed to the historical exclusion of individuals from minoritized ethnic, racial, sexual and gender identity, disability, and service status...
    It is time for us to dismantle the pipeline. Instead, let’s take inspiration from the natural world we study and envision a new model that captures the opportunity, variability, and responsiveness of a modern STEM career; that embraces the diversity and experiences of the people who engage in it; that recognizes the many on-ramps, pathways, and career pivots that real life induces; and that provides a framework in which there is a place in STEM for everyone. This is the braided river model…”
