Custom workforce development and talent acquisition
The Accelerate to Industry (A2i) program is a bold approach to enhancing industry workforce readiness in South Carolina and beyond. We invite you to join the Clemson University Graduate School in developing a consistent pipeline of exceptional future leaders for your company. The A2i model includes opportunities to directly interact with Clemson's talented and diverse graduate, postdoctoral, and alumni communities through targeted, meaningful recruitment activities that we tailor to your company’s needs. The A2i approach utilizes a variety of modules which bring our graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and alumni together with industry partners whose missions require a highly motivated and educated workforce.
Please email a2i@clemson.edu if you don't see what you need.
