- Identifying and addressing education gaps needed for real-world public health application;
- Establishing pathways to public health careers through experiential learning, internships and apprenticeship programs;
- Implementing cross-sector collaboration between public health and academia for professional development through adjunct faculty positions and research opportunities; and
- Creating educational opportunities for staff to connect public health theory and practice
