State University System offers new “concierge” website for businesses

Posted on May 31, 2017

With just one stop, Business leaders can have access to new recruitment and informational tools on the revamped Think Florida: A Higher Degree for Business website designed by the State University System of Florida.
The site hosts all in one place tools from Florida’s career resource centers as well as ExpertNet, an online resource that provides information about university experts, research centers and institutes, and opportunities for technology licensing. Additionally, the site connects employers to Florida’s 12 universities to help assist them in recruiting interns or employees. It also includes a listing of business-focused events at the universities, including upcoming career fairs.
“Our universities are the training ground for Florida’s future employees and entrepreneurs, even as they advance the discoveries and inventions that attract businesses and fuel the economy,” said Board of Governors Chair Tom Kuntz. “By staying focused on the needs of the business community, we’re doing everything possible to give our students and taxpayers the best possible return on investment.”
The State University System of Florida announced the Think Florida: A Higher Degree for Business campaign last year to strengthen ties with the business community in the areas of talent, research and partnerships. The campaign includes regular events, speaking engagements, and various communications. The new tools on the website were built in response to a survey conducted by the State University System in partnership with the Florida Chamber of Commerce.
Business leaders overwhelmingly responded that a central hub to recruit interns and employees and access information on university resources would benefit their companies.
“The State University System is a partner for thousands of Florida businesses, whether engaged in training future employees or commercializing research,” said Mark Wilson, President and CEO of the Florida Chamber of Commerce. “By working together, we are building a strong foundation for Florida’s economic prosperity.”
“This is just the latest example of the State University System’s efforts to build greater synergies with employers and to serve as a resource for them,” said Marshall Criser III, State University System Chancellor. “We look forward to receiving feedback and to using this site to help businesses connect with the great talent, research, and partnerships available at our universities.”
