CPACS: Professionally-Oriented for Student Career Success

CPACS has always been a professionally-oriented college, striving to prepare students for careers and creating career connections with a variety of organizations. Recently, this has ramped up. Below you will read about one good example, Aviation’s pipeline program with Southwest Airlines. Social Work is also launching a Training and Supervision Academy that will provide individual supervision for both provisionally licensed mental health practitioners (LMHP) and continuing education for fully licensed LMHPs. Public Administration has provided training for Nebraska municipal clerks since 1976, and has developed new training programs in fundraising management, nonprofit leadership, government finance officers, and the Certified Public Manager program. All these are part of Chancellor Joanne Li’s emphasis on UNO provision of workforce development programs to grow the economy of the state.

Our 50^th anniversary celebrations are in full swing. And we don’t do just one party but several! See the schedule below. Hope to see you at one.
