About Us

Career Readiness Solution would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our staff. This program is led by faculty members in the Industrial Organizational Psychology Program, Clinical Psychology Program, and the UCF College of Graduate Studies. Our Career Ambassadors, or assessors, are trained undergraduate or graduate students who want to learn more about the theory and practice of rating, feedback, assessment centers, and/or student development. Learn more about our program leaders and Career Ambassadors below. We are very grateful to the efforts of MSIOP graduate students who developed exercises and served as assessors during the development of CRS.
