We foster a connected, supportive and inclusive community that embraces diversity and equity to inspire staff, students, faculty, post-docs and alumni to achieve their personal, academic and professional goals while feeling valued and respected.
We will continue to leverage our resources to engage, develop and build our capacity and infrastructure towards sustainability and effectiveness.
Goal: Future proof ourselves
As we seek to equip and empower ourselves for the future of our own work and pursuit of lifelong learning, we strive to live our values of curiosity, belonging, engagement and courage within a culture that sustains wellness.
We will draw upon our values to create a supportive environment that welcomes diversity and invites discussion, dialogue and understanding. Though we all come from different paths in life, we are committed to removing barriers and providing access to resources and opportunities regardless of background or identity.
Our research has shown a lifelong learning mindset is a critical component of career success. Within CEE we foster lifelong learning through creating a staff professional development program to enable us to understand changing workplace needs, and to continuously improve and build our own knowledge and skills.
Within our own local community, we are founding partners of a coalition with government, industry, non-profit and educational institutions to examine the challenges of the future of work and to prepare our local community and workforce to succeed in all aspects of talent development.
