Description
The Quantum Collaborative Research Corps (QCoR) is a research organization based at the University of Maryland College Park (UMD-CP) and embedded within the Laboratory of Physical Sciences Qubit Collaboratory (LQC). In addition to advancing quantum information science and technology towards quantum computing, developing the next generation quantum workforce through education and public outreach is one of the core missions of QCoR. In collaboration with LQC and UMD-CP, we facilitate student and scientist training and mentorship, initiate workforce development pathways, and engage with outreach activities to expand the quantum workforce and public understanding of quantum science and technology. In this talk, I will outline our current workforce development efforts, report on the summer internship (EQuIPT) and post-baccalaureate fellowship programs, and will aim to reach out to regional K-12 and HE institutions for future opportunities.
