Miami, FL — Dr. Arthur Keiser, Chancellor and Belinda Keiser, Vice Chancellor hosted Senator Rick Scott during a roundtable filled with leaders of the business, workforce development and education communities at Keiser University’s Miami campus on September 13. Top representatives from Florida’s major companies and colleges and universities attended such as FPL, UBS, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Miami Dade College, Pratt Whitney, Lockheed Martin, Barry University, Florida International University, St. Thomas University, the Florida Realtors Association and cybersecurity firms attended. The discussion provided an opportunity to discuss college affordability, accessibility and alignment of employer demands with the college degrees necessary to prepare career-ready graduates in the 21st century workforce.
Senator Scott, while serving as Florida’s governor, made a promise to Floridians to create 700,000 jobs in seven years. When he took office as Governor over eight years ago, Florida was experiencing an 11.3% unemployment rate. Upon completion of his second term, Florida’s unemployment rate was 3.3% with nearly two million new public and private sector jobs created.
“As a University with a 42 year history of preparing talented students for the careers of today and tomorrow, it was an honor to host and join Senator Scott, economic professionals and educators sharing the goals of advancing Florida’s workforce, economy and global competitiveness,” said Belinda Keiser, Vice Chancellor of Keiser University.
Senator Scott’s story is familiar to many of Keiser University students having come from humble beginnings, worked tirelessly at countless jobs, while remaining committed to earning an education, which allows one to achieve their professional goals. He served in the United States Navy, was an entrepreneur and founder of one our nation’s largest health care companies. As a public servant, he has always remained a fighter and champion for families seeking the same opportunity he had to pursue the American dream.
While this roundtable took place in South Florida, we would love to have you join in the conversation! Please forward any ideas you may have for addressing Florida’s workforce shortages, college accessibility or the economic development of our great State to Kelli Lane at [email protected] or Josh Sanchez at [email protected].
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
Going to Keiser University was one of the greatest experiences in my life. All of my deans, professors, and staff made me feel that I was a part of something very special, and I am. I would recommend for anyone to get their education at Keiser University.
The instructors at Keiser University impacted my life. They believed in my ability to become a great graphic designer, regardless of how I felt about my skills. KU helped to prepare me for the real world and got me to where I am today.
If not for my education at Keiser I probably would not be where I am today, in both life and career. It is because of going to Keiser and the instructors I had that I joined a club started by Mr. Williams, The Lakeland Shooters Photography Group, which allowed me to venture into an amazing and very creative field that I use to enhance all aspects of my life.
The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.
The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.
Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…
Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!
I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.
I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.
Keiser University’s MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.
It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.
I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I’m part of a family here, not just a number.
After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren’t available to me before.
Beyond the curriculum of the courses, the lessons the instructors have taught me have paid dividends in my real work experiences. How to respond to criticisms, project and time management, interview skills, the list goes on and on. At the end of the day, they not only showed me how to design, but they taught me how to be a professional.
Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I had been going to another school before, I dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.
My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.
The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.
I found that Keiser University’s Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn’t truly interested.
