Presented by the Cornell Center for Nanoscale Systems
Video by the Cornell Nanoscale Science and Technology Facility
The CNS Career Advancement Program for Engineers and Scientists (CNS CAPES) is designed to improve the competitiveness of Cornell graduate students and postdoctoral scholars entering the workforce, in part by providing training in the important "real-world" skills that are often overlooked in traditional graduate programs, such as public speaking, proposal writing, and effective interview techniques. The CAPES program will also give students a realistic and unbiased view of academic and non-academic career opportunities.
