Transfer students often begin their higher education journey by facing a variety of competing demands. Universities encourage their students to engage in career readiness activities early to ensure their competitiveness while preparing to meet their career goals. Transfer students have a more compressed timeline which makes timely engagement even more critical. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how two offices at USF— the Center for Career and Professional Development and the Office of Transfer Student Success—have elevated their partnership to increase transfer student engagement with career resources during their first semester. Participants will explore strategic partnership strategies to support the transfer student population and identify ways to realize similar benefits in their home institutions without requiring additional funding.
