Industry Perspectives

A central part of our project is understanding quantum industry's outlook on the quantum workforce. To that end, we are conducting interviews with managers, entry-level employees and employees who have an education-focus role across quantum industry employers to gain a deeper understanding of the landscape and needs of the quantum workforce. Our goal is to get up to date information and an holistic overview of the quantum workforce to answer the following research questions: 

• What knowledge, skills, abilities, tasks, and educational backgrounds are needed for the variety of jobs found within quantum technology companies?
• What can educators do to support students from different STEM disciplines enter particular QISE job roles?

This results of this study will help guide improvements to QISE education, and make opportunities more accessible and helpful for students to enter the quantum workforce.
