Gator to Gator Coaching Program

The Gator to Gator Coaching Program pairs graduating seniors and recently graduated students with alumni for a virtual coaching session. Each student and coach commit to a one-time virtual coaching session. The session will be 30 to 60 minutes.

This is an opportunity for the student to:

• Ask questions and receive advice on professional development and current career opportunities.
• Learn how to navigate the job market during sudden shifts and unexpected challenges.
• Be connected to the CJC Gator network.
• Explore possible leads for jobs, internships and externships.

Here are some of the stories from past participating seniors and coaches:

• CJC Alum Gives Back to the College Through Gator to Gator Coaching Program
• CJC Grad Makes Most of Gator to Gator Coaching Program
• Carly Rogers: Career Advice from My UF CJC Gator to Gator Coaching Program Coach
