Summary:High Energy Particle Physics (HEP) faces challenges over the coming decades with a need to attract young people to the field and STEM careers, as well as a need to recognize, promote and sustain those in the field who are making important contributions to the research effort across the many specialties needed to deliver the science. Such skills can also serve as attractors for students who may not want to pursue a PhD in HEP but use them as a springboard to other STEM careers. This paper reviews the challenges and develops strategies to correct the disparities to help transform the particle physics field into a stronger and more diverse ecosystem of talent and expertise, with the expectation of long-lasting scientific and societal benefits.
