[Orgvpdue] Introducing the UC Riverside Global Career Accelerator - Enrolling Now for Summer 2025!

[Louie F. Rodriguez]

Dear DUE Colleagues,

The message below will be going to many of our campus partners shortly. As
you know, one of our core strategic goals is to scale high impact practices
for all UCR students.  The UC Riverside Global Career Accelerator is a step
in that direction.  Thank you to the many DUE and campus partners for
helping us get to this point. The objective now is to share widely with
students to garner interest and enrollment for this summer.

Best,

Louie


Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to announce the open enrollment for the Summer 2025 session
of the UC Riverside Global Career Accelerator!

Our innovative online global experiential program provides students of
diverse backgrounds with the incredible opportunity to acquire global
competencies and valuable work experience, all in an accessible and
flexible format. Participants will engage in collaborative projects
alongside peers hailing from 50+ countries, working on assignments from
prestigious companies such as Spotify, Netflix, Intel, and the Grammys.

By successfully completing the program this summer, students will earn 8
credits and can obtain up to 4 micro-credentials focusing on industry tools
and competencies. Students enroll through UCR Summer Sessions, use
financial aid if they qualify, and take the course from wherever they are
this summer—at home, on campus, or some other location—enabling students
with the ability to acquire meaningful experiential experiences while
engaging through a flexible learning format.  In today's dynamic global
work environment, the ability to communicate and collaborate across diverse
cultures and time zones is indispensable—especially in the context of
remote and hybrid positions.

We encourage you to share this unique opportunity with your students,
enabling them to broaden their horizons and gain valuable skills that will
set them apart in the professional landscape. For detailed information
about the program, please visit UC Riverside Global Career Accelerator
website <https://www.careeraccelerator.ucr.edu/>. Should you have any
questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach
out.

We eagerly anticipate the formation of the Summer 2025 cohort and
appreciate your support in making this program a success. Thank you for
your dedication to enhancing our students' educational experiences and
boosting their involvement in high impact practices—one of the university’s
strategic goals for student success.
