USF Lifelong Learning comprises four distinct entities and a special partnership with
InEd working together to fulfill its lifelong learning strategy. The primary objective
of this unit is to expand USF's educational offerings to the community, with a particular
emphasis on workforce development and economic growth. The Youth Experiences team
serves K-12 learners through summer camps and other short-term programs that introduce
them to the university atmosphere while generating awareness career fields such as
cybersecurity, entrepreneurship, filmmaking and more. The Corporate Training and Professional
Education team helps learners in the workplace gain credentials through competency-based
programs and/or certificate programs. The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute fosters
a community of senior learners, and Testing Services serves the USF community by administering
exams for entrance and placement, certification and licensure, distance learning and
pre-employment.
Innovative Education serves as a catalyst to foster innovation, enhance the student
experience, create revenue opportunities for colleges, and empower USF to thrive in
this transformative era of education. As a result, students of all levels are empowered
