Learn About FGCU’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) – The Skills Advantage

January 31, 2025 

This year, FGCU launches an exciting new initiative – The Skills Advantage: From Campus to Career. The Skills Advantage is FGCU's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) which aims to help undergraduate students develop career-relevant general skills like critical thinking, teamwork or communication, and share these skill sets with employers for better job market outcomes.

The QEP is a major institutional improvement project that is part of FGCU’s upcoming re-accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

You may have seen signs around campus and received a copy of The Skills Advantage 8-page brochure, which outlines the program. Whether you are faculty, staff or administration, there are ways to get involved in this campus-wide project. 

Interested in learning more? Register here to attend any of the following events:

  • BadgeIt! Assignment Workshop | February 13 | noon to 1 p.m. 
  • QEP Palooza | February 19 | 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
  • Virtual Information Session | February 21 | 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

A gift for full-time faculty and staff – a 24-ounce Tervis tumbler – will be distributed across campus soon to celebrate the launch of The Skills Advantage.
