What do physics students need for career success? Findings from the Phys21 report

In October 2016 the Joint Task Force on Undergraduate Physics Programs published a report, Phys21: Preparing Physics Students for 21^st-Century Careers. Based on information supplied by employers of physics graduates in the private sector and in government laboratories as well as in academia, the report summarizes the knowledge and skills that physicists need to succeed in a wide range of contemporary careers. In this presentation I will discuss those findings as well as ways in which students can prepare themselves for successful careers and how physics departments can help.
