Career Readiness Check-In
In 2015, Governor Rick Scott issued the “Ready Set Work” University Challenge, which challenges state-funded universities to have 100 percent of their graduates (not going into graduate school) gain full-time employment within a year for those receiving each university’s two most popular degrees. At UF, the goal is to have every graduate from every degree achieve success through employment after graduation. To ensure students are confident and ready to pursue post-graduation plans, the Career Readiness Check-In was implemented as an institution-wide effort for students to prepare for life after graduation.
Career Readiness Holds
During a student’s second fall at the university, two holds will appear on their accounts, these are the Career Readiness Check-In Holds. The student will be required to fulfill actions to lift the two holds in order to register for the next semester’s courses. The holds are a part of the University-wide response to support student awareness and preparation for success after graduation. Both Career Readiness Check-In Holds should take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
