We asked our CTEC students, “What is one thing you’ve learned or enjoyed most about your experience at CTEC?"

In honor of CTE Month, we’re highlighting all the benefits and impact these programs are having on these local students!

At FLDC, we have five pathways as part of our Career and Technical Education Center: Automotive, Child Development, Green Energy, Urban Agriculture, and Welding. These programs are essential for preparing students for long-term career and higher education opportunities. Students receive hands-on training, career exploration, and essential skill development to help them succeed in today’s rapidly changing workforce.
