Join FLATE for an interactive, hands-on virtual workshop where you’ll explore real-world applications of machine learning in manufacturing. Participants will work together, experimenting with diverse data sets to uncover insights and solve challenges. This collaborative session is designed to equip you with both the theory and practice needed to apply ML techniques effectively in the manufacturing sector.

A career conversation with your mentor-manager is essentially a negotiation. It's a time to discuss your career path, what types of support your mentor-manager is willing and able to offer, and the level of productivity they'll need to see to continue to support you. Using best practices from Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most (Stone, Patton, Heen and Fisher), participants will go through the steps of preparing for a negotiation (including identifying conversational goals and concerns about the conversation, assessing their research mentor's position and preferences, etc.), brainstorm different conversational tactics for each stage of a negotiation (including opening the conversation, negotiating different issues, coming to agreement and ending a conversation) and consider steps post-conversation.

• Workshop participants will come away with strategies to:
• Identify the steps to prepare for a career conversation
• Consider how your mentor-manager would prefer to have this conversation
• Develop talking points to keep the conversation on track
• Discuss how to open, have and exit the conversation
• Identify strategies if a conversation becomes contentious
• Describe next steps post-conversation(s)
