| **Education & Training**: This working group is for those that are interested in regular discussions about education & training for RSEs with a goal of developing concrete deliverables. The group meets on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 Eastern. Thus far, we have begun describing the types of people who work as RSEs and what their training needs might be and we are working on defining the list of skills often needed by RSEs. If you would like to join the conversation, please join the [#education-training](https://usrse.slack.com/messages/education-training) channel on the US-RSE Slack. You can post a message there if you would like to be invited to the next meeting. | ||
