Workforce development in quantum information science and engineering (QISE) is important for continued leadership in this emerging area, and for empowering high technology industries of the future. To explore and facilitate pathways for careers in QISE, this project will support a workshop. It will bring together graduate students and colleagues from a network of NSF-funded Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes (QLCI). There will be opportunities to engage with representatives from several dozen companies and potential employers in QISE related industries, and to discuss salient issues in career development for early professionals in QISE. Participants will build professional connections and relationships with peers that support workforce development and future collaborations for emerging scientists and engineers across the growing quantum ecosystem. The QLCI Leap Forward Career Conference is scheduled for April 11-12, 2024, in Chicago, Illinois. The first day will facilitate a larger number of QLCI student trainees from across the nation to participate in the Chicago Quantum Exchange 2024 Quantum Recruiting Forum. Both days will include QLCI-focused and student-focused programming to elucidate career pathways and strategies for career development in QISE-related areas. Engagement with representatives from the Quantum Economic Development Consortium and representatives from several QLCI projects will provide participants with a broad range of perspectives and opportunities. The NSF conference grant will partially defray travel costs so that a larger number of QLCI trainees and students will have the opportunity to participate and build relationships with potential employers. Attendees will learn from quantum-focused industry professionals, faculty, researchers, and near peers (e.g., graduate students and postdocs). A key objective of the QLCI Leap Forward Career Conference is for QLCI students and trainees to advance their knowledge of professional and research opportunities within the QLCI network and in the broader ecosystem of quantum information science and engineering.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

量子信息科学与工程 (QISE) 的劳动力发展对于保持这一新兴领域的领导地位以及增强未来高科技产业的能力非常重要。为了探索和促进 QISE 的职业道路，该项目将支持举办研讨会。它将汇集来自 NSF 资助的量子飞跃挑战研究所 (QLCI) 网络的研究生和同事。将有机会与来自 QISE 相关行业的数十家公司和潜在雇主的代表进行接触，并讨论 QISE 早期专业人员职业发展的突出问题。参与者将与同行建立专业联系和关系，支持不断发展的量子生态系统中新兴科学家和工程师的劳动力发展和未来合作。 QLCI 跨越式职业会议定于 2024 年 4 月 11 日至 12 日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。第一天将方便来自全国各地的更多 QLCI 学生学员参加芝加哥量子交易所 2024 量子招聘论坛。这两天都将包括以 QLCI 为中心和以学生为中心的节目，以阐明 QISE 相关领域的职业道路和职业发展策略。 与量子经济发展联盟的代表和多个 QLCI 项目的代表的接触将为参与者提供广泛的观点和机会。 NSF 会议拨款将支付部分旅行费用，以便更多的 QLCI 学员和学生有机会参与并与潜在雇主建立关系。与会者将向关注量子的行业专业人士、教师、研究人员和同行（例如研究生和博士后）学习。 QLCI 跨越式职业会议的一个主要目标是让 QLCI 学生和学员在 QLCI 网络以及更广泛的量子信息科学与工程生态系统中提高专业知识和研究机会。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。
