The Arc Jacksonville and Florida State College of Jacksonville Announce: First-of-Its Kind Career Campus Certification Program, Vocational program will help and support students with intellectual and developmental differences<\/p>\n

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 April 24, 2023 \u2013 The Arc Jacksonville and Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) have partnered to launch a first-of-its-kind program in the State of Florida for students transitioning to their next step in life. Beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year, 15 inaugural students with intellectual and developmental differences (IDD) will endeavor on a vocational program culminating in FSCJ certificates of completion, college transcripts, and gainful employment or additional education depending on their career path preferences.<\/p>\n

The Arc Jacksonville staff and FSCJ faculty will work in tandem to give young adults with IDD a new choice in education. FSCJ courses will be taught by credentialed faculty and The Arc Jacksonville staff will provide additional coursework, skills training in simulated classroom job sites and internships at local businesses. Career paths include childcare, welding, digital media, nursing, clerical, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to the impact Career Campus will bring to young people\u2019s lives and the local workforce,\u201d said Kari Bates, CEO of The Arc Jacksonville. \u201cEvery day we meet young adults with incredible work potential, but no consolidated path to achieving their goals. Career Campus will provide that path and unlock their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Arc Jacksonville has a history of innovating vocational programs through partnerships with high schools, colleges\/universities, and local businesses to open up career paths and educational opportunities for students with IDD. On Campus Transition<\/a> at the University of North Florida was among the first in the nation to offer higher education to students with IDD. In addition to that, High School High Tech<\/a>, a partnership with The Able Trust, exposes high school students with IDD to potential careers in STEM fields. Fast forward to now, the Career Campus program will fill a void for young adults with IDD who are seeking specialized instruction to secure competitive employment.<\/p>\n

\u201cFSCJ is thrilled to partner with The Arc Jacksonville to launch the Career Campus program,\u201d said Dr. Greg Wurth, FSCJ Dean of Workforce Education. \u201cWe are eager to play a part in the positive impacts this program will bring to students and the community overall.\u201d<\/p>\n
