Career Academies

Career Academies Build College and Career Exploration Programs

Few can disagree with the goal to prepare high school students for both college and a career.  While much attention is focused on how to prepare students academically for life after high school, less is directed at the nonacademic skills and knowledge that students need to succeed in college and the workplace.  Schools are expected to teach these skills and knowledge, but are rarely given the support, guidance, and tools needed to do so.

Career academies are characterized by these three basic features:

Learn a school-within-a-school organizational structure,

Customer Teamwork, Success, Sales, Marketing, Strategy, Goals career-themed curriculum,
(curricula that combine academic and career or technical courses based on a career theme)

Group of people forming a star with their fingers and partnerships with local employers.

Here is a listing of the Career Academies within Southwest Florida’s public high schools.
