Workforce Development
At The University of Texas Permian Basin, we aspire to engage all undergraduate and graduate students in research projects and prepare students for their careers in STEM areas. In the Natural Resource Center, students work with faculty mentors and instrumentation to advance their knowledge and mastery of instrumentation in the NRC. Students working with NRC faculty gain real-world training in research methods, data analysis, problem-solving, project and time management, and communication skills. These transferable skills will make UTPB science students competitive and qualified for high-level employment in regional companies or excellent graduate and professional school candidates.
