Flagler County Schools Classrooms to Careers By Flagler County Schools
Flagler Schools recognizes the need to offer opportunities to discover paths leading students from our classrooms to career success . In order to do this , we worked with local business leaders to identify key , targeted industries right here in our community and our region . These include : agriculture , aerospace , green technology , health science , engineering , computer science , marine research , finance and business leadership and the arts .
Our schools have established “ Flagship Programs ” within our campuses that tie into the targeted industries . With nearly two dozen such Flagship Programs spanning grades K-12 , our students are provided an enriched education , infused with the essentials for college and career readiness . Additionally , our Classroom to Careers program sees value in offering career and technical certifications through Career and Technical Education ( CTE ) programs .
These programs prepare individuals for occupations important to Florida ’ s economic development . Each program is aligned with a career cluster and is detailed in curriculum frameworks . These frameworks include program standards that are both academically integrated and responsive to business and industry .
Both our Flagship and CTE programs are successful thanks to the partnerships between education , business and industry , and trade associations .
Career and Technical Education ( CTE ) programs prepare students for occupations important to Florida ’ s economic development . With the help of partners , each program provides the academic and technical skills to prepare students for success in today ’ s economy .
