Achieve Unlimited Potential
We believe there is Unlimited Potential (UP) in our community and have operationalized a movement to increase educational access and attainment levels in Broward County. We know that educational attainment is a leading indicator of economic development and the health of any community. We also know that more than 60 percent of Florida jobs require a postsecondary degree or high-quality certificate. The mission of Broward UP is to remove barriers to meaningful employment by providing workforce training, education, and support for every County resident to realize their unlimited potential.
Let's join forces to improve social and economic mobility in Broward!

Broward UP Communities
Through an innovative community-centric approach, Broward UP is expanding the college's business model and strengthening partnerships to deliver workforce education courses and programs, along with career readiness and related support services, in areas most affected by intergenerational poverty and economic immobility.
A series of collaborations customized to the specific needs of each community have been established, as well as outreach efforts to overcome misconceptions around access and to align retention and support services.
Through Broward UP, barriers such as tuition, transportation, and technology are removed so residents of Broward UP Communities can access in-demand training leading to Broward College certificates and industry recognized credentials in high-demand areas such as Process Improvement, Supply Chain Management, Project Management, Information Technology, Health Care, and more. Through one-on-one coaching sessions, participants work with Broward UP Case Managers to complete career assessments, educational plans, and goal-setting exercises, as well as a needs assessment to identify wrap-around services needed to promote student success.
