Survey group has prepared a survey aimed at gauging missing elements of graduate and undergraduate education in particle physics and how to bridge those gaps, both within and outside the classroom. This includes development of technical and professional skills,
awareness of training opportunities, career trajectories, and more.</span></p>

All members of the particle physics community, broadly defined, are encouraged to take the survey, including undergraduates with an interest in particle physics, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, staff, and anyone else who self-identifies as involved in
particle physics. We furthermore encourage you to share broadly with your collaborations, departments, and students to get the broadest representation possible.</span></p>
