“As a Pensacola business leader, I’m excited to continue our relationship with the UWF Talent Catalyst program. The UWF Talent Catalyst program helps support my organization in our efforts to cultivate a consistent pipeline for talent tailored to our needs by:
- Providing access to tomorrow’s workforce,
- Developing technical skills through real-world application of their coursework principles, and
- Developing soft skills like clear communication, cross-functional collaboration and consistent execution to help transition students from a collegiate environment to a workplace.
UWF Talent Catalyst has been key in meeting our organization’s goals by cultivating relationships early with students, and developing them throughout their academic career. I am proud to have my organization recognized as an employer of choice in our Pensacola community, and look forward to continuing to work with UWF for continued access to a reliable workforce.”
