Education ’ s Public-Pr Develop Palm Coast ’ s
According to the U . S . Bureau of Labor Statistics , five of the 10 fastest-growing occupations between 2020-2030 are related to the medical field , and the other five are a mix of the trade and technical industries .
Preparing Palm Coast to meet those needs begins early with the Flagler County school district ’ s Classrooms to Careers Flagship programming , supported by public-private partnerships within the community .
Offering students the chance to explore a variety of potential career paths , including certified trades , education , law and justice , culinary , emerging sciences and the medical field during their K-12 experience , strategic planners have incorporated student feedback into the design of Town Center in an effort to capture their ideas on the community of the future .
“ Talking about Town Center , I really think it was a unique opportunity for our students , especially Flagler Palm Coast High School and the i3 Program to be able to have input on what their generation is looking for in a community ,” said Flagler County Education Foundation Executive Director Joe Rizzo .
