Career Paths Program was established by the 2005 Florida Legislature to provide startup grants to offset planning and implementation costs to operate a career and professional academy.

All SUCCEED Florida career academy programs are partnerships between a district school board and one or more businesses, industries, or postsecondary educational institutions. Funded academies correlate directly with career and industry certifications with high-growth, high-demand, high-pay occupations and provide a rigorous and relevant standards-based academic curriculum through a career-based theme.

Funded projects are using their resources to do one of the following:

Implement a career academy during the 2005-06 school year
Redesign an existing academy to meet the rigorous and relevant academic standards of a career academy during the 2005-06 school year
Plan and design a career academy for the 2006-07 school year
