2020 - 2027 Strategic Core
In our unrelenting pursuit of excellence the Career Connections Center outlined a strategic core of five focus areas around which to encase our priorities over the next five years (2020-2025). These areas are a result of an intensive listening tour and a series of focus groups engaging more than 300 stakeholders over a nine-month period.The strategic core has allowed the Center to align its commitment to not only students but to the greater university community. These priorities reflect the focus areas of career services at UF in order to positively impact student success.
