Thanks to the Office of Career Planning and Development Department, their students have been exposed to resources that help foster entrepreneurship and general career readiness. Fisk has placed a strategic focus on the Office of Career Planning and Development. The University recognizes that college represents a tremendous investment of time and resources and that its students rely on them to deliver outstanding opportunities. In a time of record student debt, the university strives to provide a significant return on investment, and by extension, help students realize their future goals. This is evidenced by their partnerships, internships, and placements. This dedication to outcomes and deliverables is spearheaded by the Office of Career Planning and Development (OCPD). The OCPD office has brought ground-breaking programs and resources and partnered with organizations like the Centre for Financial Advancement, INROADS, and Ryan Specialty Group, to name a few. The use of partners and programs like these have helped pique students' interest in the world of innovation and the necessity for the youth of this generation to have an entrepreneurial mindset.
