The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) and Coalition of Urban Serving Universities (USU) has awarded a grant to Florida International University to further its partnerships with local community organizations and businesses, aimed at providing students with the skills they need to successfully enter the workforce upon graduation. FIU partnered with MITRE, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to research and development in the public interest, to develop a curated and coordinated pathway to provide students with technical skills, interpersonal skills, and access to experiential opportunities. The university aims to use the pilot as a scalable model to provide clearer and more direct pathways to careers.
