After successfully completing the secondary portion of the program and enrolling in SSC, students receive college credit for the high school portion of the program. Students have the opportunity to obtain accurate, first-hand information about specific career paths and workplace success requirements with the inclusion of industry speakers, site visits, job shadowing and internships.
Because all students will go to work at some point in their lives, SCPS believes that students who learn technical skills along with academics will be better prepared for a successful future. SCPS works closely with businesses in Central Florida to ensure that students participate in relevant work-based experiences and to prepare them for both college and industry careers after graduation.
