CREST Trainees: Where we started
In 2013 we consulted with:
• Mentors
• Trainees
• Attendees at 2013 meeting in Miami
![Page 3: Jehannine | Trainees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083003/559660711a28abc7488b483c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Trainee Strategy
• Support for broad conceptualization of “trainee” rather than simply MSc/PhD/PDF
• Trainees should be engaged in some kind of project (Research/KE) that meshes well with CREST practice/values
• Support for a transparent/rigorous process for becoming a trainee (“inclusive with boundaries”)
• Active recruitment of trainees from certain areas/disciplines

Goals from last meeting
• Define role of Trainee Lead by conferring with mentors and current trainees
• Develop short document for trainees on what CREST.BD is committing to (e.g., expectations, relationships and outcomes)

Role of CREST Trainee lead• Solicit nominations from mentors of potential trainees, obtain bios and
liaise with administrative lead to initiate a membership vote. After approval:
• Meet with each trainee to determine and define: a) trainee career goalsb) the role that crest can play in helping trainee in getting there,c) expectations crest has of traineesd) term of trainee appointment within crest
• At least annual check in with each trainee to discuss progress/successes/problems/developments
• Facilitate the establishment of relationships between trainees and CREST mentors
• Facilitate sharing of news about trainee achievements/accomplishments with the network.
• Organize at least two trainee events per year, of a nature decided upon mutually by the trainees and trainee lead. One should be in person, at the annual meeting, the other may be via webinar/conference call etc.

For consideration today
• When does a trainee cease to be a trainee? And what happens to them then?
• How do we recruit trainees from other areas (e.g. journalism)?
• How do we recruit and support non-academically traditional trainees?
• Strategy for growing the number of trainees within the network?
• Let me know if you’re interested in being a mentor! [email protected]
