Career Education in the School District of Palm Beach County is a planned program of career and technical courses and learning experiences that links educators, businesses, and the community in preparing all students with the knowledge and skills for lifelong learning and successful careers in a global society.  The aim of Career Education is to ensure that every student is properly prepared for postsecondary enrollment and/or a smooth transition into the workplace.

 

Students participating in Career Education programs in the School District of Palm Beach County will graduate with career training in high wage, high demand occupations as well as a set of strong workplace competencies that today's workforce demands from its employees.  Career Education provides a solid foundation to help build futures for students by integrating academic, critical thinking, technical, and organizational skills that are relevant to the real world.  Students will leave Career Education programs with the proper skills to make informed decisions for a future career.
