Career & Technical Education

The Career and Technical Education (CTE) program prepares students for success in college or the workforce by integrating academics, career development coursework, and training opportunities.

Students participate in CTE programs on the FSDB campus or First Coast Technical College (FCTC), which is located nearby.

CTE benefits are that students acquire specific technical skills, receive occupational completion points, earn industry certifications, which can award free college credit (gold standard), and participate in short-term community or campus-based internships.

On-Campus Programs

Off-Campus Programs (First Coast Technical College)

FSDB collaborates with First Coast Technical College (FCTC) to provide our students with a head start toward a career. Interested students work toward certifications and skill mastery within the various technical programs during the school day. Students have the opportunity to choose from programs in: Horticulture, Culinary Arts, Auto Repair, Cosmetology, and Child Care. Students are given hands on opportunities to learn and practice skills in these areas and take corresponding certifications as applicable to each program.

Our partnership with FCTC allows our students the opportunity to Do More, Be More, and Achieve More.
