Workforce Development in the Florida Community
College System (FCCS) consists of training programs that prepare
adult students for today’s workforce. These programs serve
adult learners, i.e., post-secondary students, by preparing them
for employment in a variety of industries that require well-developed
technical skills. Additional workforce development efforts are focused
on providing skills maintenance and enhancement through continuing
education to those already employed, and retraining for displaced
workers.
