The law says that career and professional academies may be offered by public schools, school districts, or the Florida Virtual School. Where can I find more information about secondary and postsecondary career education programs?
Career Academies provide relevant courses in a program of study determined by a career theme. Students completing career and professional academy programs receive a standard high school diploma, the highest available industry certification, and postsecondary credit if the academy partners with a postsecondary institution. District academy representatives and guidance counselors should inform students and parents of available academy programs. The FLDOE Career Academies’ Web site, http://www.firn.edu/doe/workforce/ca_home.htm, contains technical assistance and information about the Succeed Start-up Grants.
