About PROGRESANDO
Funded by Bank of America, the Progresando initiative seeks to meet regional workforce needs, by supporting under-resourced students to achieve upward economic mobility through careers in healthcare, while also helping to increase representation and address the shortage of culturally proficient, Spanish-speaking healthcare providers.
Grant-funded activities included a healthcare-focused research-and-writing lab, hardship funds towards healthcare-based test prep and exam fees, and a healthcare professions education series. In its final grant year, UCF’s Progresando Initiative provided students and faculty with travel support to professional conferences, partnered with CareerSource Central Florida on several educational community events and developed a healthcare video series in collaboration with UCF’s Center for Distributed Learning.
