Career Academies in Northeast Florida

Resources, Tools and Support
The First Coast's Career Academies are unique "schools-within-schools" in high schools across Northeast Florida. Career Academies offer structured, personalized learning through career-related classes with focus on technical skills for a chosen industry. The exciting opportunities for students offer them a chance to succeed academically while getting a leg up towards their career goals. By partnering with its host community, a Career Academy is able to benefit students and employers alike, giving graduates advanced skills, and their potential employers a capable, specialized workforce from which to hire.

Students study all the basic courses AND get a skill they will keep for a lifetime… and get started on a career path. It's like choosing a major… they can always change later, but national data shows that many kids stay in the same field for a long time. And Career Academy students go to college more often than other kids.

Solid academics AND career skills… That's what Career Academies are all about.
