Building a “Career Curriculum” at UC Davis
Every UC Davis school and college has an area of expertise. A body of knowledge where they are considered experts. Ours is adult learners — engaging working professionals and preparing them for the ever-changing needs, demands and opportunities of the modern workforce.
By partnering with colleagues across campus and private industry, we create a “Career Curriculum” that reflects the continual need to refresh and reinvent job skills over the steadily growing period between degree attainment and retirement.
Our courses complement the degrees conferred by campus. They are academically rigorous, immediately applicable in the workplace and structured to fit the needs of working professionals.
