“…To take this framework one step further, career counselors need to incorporate awareness and understanding of STEM occupations along with an understanding of the unique concerns that people from diverse backgrounds and disciplines may encounter during the career exploration experience (Byars‐Winston, ). Members of underrepresented groups may experience barriers to career paths that must be addressed by career counselors to expand the range of occupations these individuals consider and to facilitate their entrance into STEM fields.…”

Career counselors must continually enhance their knowledge and skills to assist clients contemplating careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Therefore, the authors review STEM disciplines and theory‐driven strategies for assisting diverse individuals to explore, enter, and persist in STEM careers. Appropriate use of career assessments can contribute greatly to this effort. To identify available measures for STEM‐focused domains and constructs, the authors conducted a journal content analysis of stand‐alone STEM‐related career assessments from 1983 to 2016, identifying 39 articles with 153 measures. Notable results included the emergence of social cognitive theory and social cognitive career theory as prevailing frameworks for instrument development, a wide variety of disciplines and journals represented, an underrepresentation of minority samples, and untapped potential for cross‐discipline and researcher–practitioner collaboration. Useful strategies and resources for counselors and recommendations for enhancing career assessments and interventions are addressed.

“…Byars‐Winston () presented a framework for multicultural STEM‐focused career intervention. Rather than presenting a step‐by‐step approach, the author introduced this framework as a broad overview of issues to consider in advancing an equity‐focused and social justice–oriented STEM career counseling agenda.…”

“…Despite significant federal investments in STEM-related education and workforce training to engage more people in STEM ($3.4 billion spent in fiscal year 2010; NSTC, 2011), challenges remain with R/EM men and women as a whole gaining little ground (Byars-Winston, 2014). The exception in STEM fields is the absorption of Black, American Indian, and Hispanic men and Asian men and women into computer science and engineering.…”

We used census data on the civilian non-institutional adult population to analyze trends in labor force participation by race/ethnicity and sex in U.S. occupations from 1970 to 2010 in decennial periods. We examined these data for the main effects and interactions of race/ethnicity and sex across the total labor market and within 35 detailed occupations. Results from a log-linear analysis revealed that, as a whole (across race/ethnicity), more women participated in the labor force from 1970 to 2010. The proportions of working racial/ethnic minorities to both the population and the people in the labor force increased across all decades except for Black men. Although White (Caucasian) men continuously comprised the largest racial/ethnic–sex group working across five decades in absolute numbers, their percentage of the total working population declined from 1970 (54%) to 2010 (37%). In our analyses of 35 occupations, significant sex differences within racial/ethnic groups emerged. Overall, with some exceptions, Asian men and women and White women were more likely to be absorbed into occupations typically associated with professional status whereas Black, Hispanic, and American Indian men and women were more likely to be absorbed into occupations typically associated with low skill, low wages, and low status. Implications for the role of psychologists in future research, practice, and policy are discussed.

Theory-Informed Research Training and Mentoring of Underrepresented Early-Career Faculty at Teaching-Intensive Institutions: The Obesity Health Disparities PRIDE Program

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mentoring has been consistently identified as an important element for career advancement in many biomedical and health professional disciplines and has been found to be critical for success and promotion in academic settings. Early-career faculty from groups underrepresented in biomedical research, however, are less likely to have mentors, and in general, receive less mentoring than their majority-group peers, particularly among those employed in teaching-intensive institutions. This article describes Obesity Health Disparities (OHD) PRIDE, a theoretically and conceptually based research training and mentoring program designed for early-career faculty who trained or are employed at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Ethn Dis. 2018;28(2):115-122; doi:10.18865/ed.28.2.115.
