Overview and Mission
The Certificate of Student Professional Development (CSPD) empowers UAFS students
to develop the professional skills and personal attributes most valued by prospective
employers through career preparation programs, experiential learning, and collaborations
with UAFS partners. This is accomplished through workshops, mentoring, and internships
that complement the content knowledge and tools taught in the classroom. While completing
the Certificate through the Babb Center for Career Services we offer a variety of
services connecting students with employers, thereby supplying local and regional
employers with highly valued professional employment candidates.
Primary Goals
- Deliver a quality certificate program that provides UAFS students career preparation programs and services to develop the essential skills needed to excel in today’s competitive global economy
- Develop relationships with alumni and employers resulting in internship and full-time career opportunities for students
