Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is an applied research facility administered by the University of California for the US Department of Energy. Approximately half of its work is in weapons research, and half is in energy research and biomedical-environmental studies. A pride in individualism, creativity, and the quality of work performed characterizes the Laboratory. The purpose of the Career/Life Planning Workshop is to enhance these characteristics. This paper focuses on four topics: (1) a description of the participants and results of the workshop; (2) participants' and their supervisors' evaluations one year after workshop participation; (3) the cost effectiveness of the workshop; and (4) a preliminary report of a comparative study of engineers and scientists who have participated in the program.
