State of Florida's Workforce Development Motto

Welcome to our CTE Page - Career and Technical Education is a large part of Vocational, or Career Prep courses. Throughout the year, our teachers work tireless to provide the best opportunity to see all students study the skills, and obtain industry credentials.  These exams are offered to our students after they demonstrate their readiness to take and hopefully, pass these exams.

The advantages of passing these exams are obvious--students are put in a category of demonstrating their competencies and can therefore present documented evidence of specific knowledge.  Families and students can also save money as these certifications provide college credit, speeding up the process of obtaining college degrees.

Take a look at the certifications offered at the Hendry County Schools, and see what YOU will or could save by passing industry exams.  This information is for Hendry County Schools. This is important!     

If we can help you at any time, please let us know.  KLutkenhaus
