Martinez, Edward; Lindline, Jennifer; Petronis, Michael S.; Pilotti, Maura – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2012
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects an increase in Natural Resource Management (NRM) jobs within the next 10 years due to baby-boomer retirements and a 12% increase in demand for these occupations. Despite this trend, college enrollment in NRM disciplines has declined. Even more critical is the fact that the soon-to-be-majority Hispanic…
