In a fast-moving global economy, the knowledge and skills people learn must be relevant and purposeful and quickly adaptable.
That’s why people are coming to Florida Community College in record numbers — more than 64,000 students in 2005–06. More than ever, leaders in business, education and government are recognizing the tremendous value of community colleges and the difference their programs make in people’s lives.
Florida Community College is growing its reputation as the largest, most dynamic and most influential higher education institution on the First Coast.
Their workforce development program is the largest in Florida, helping thousands of students prepare for high-demand careers each year. They also have built the state’s largest online learning program, military education program, and information technology curriculum.
The size and quality of their education programs produce significant economic impact for the region. Employers depend on them to deliver the highly skilled employees they need to compete and grow in the future.
The impact of their college extends beyond student success and economic growth — to the arts and culture in the community. Through the Artist Series, honored by the State of Florida as a “Major Cultural Institution,” we bring top-rated Broadway productions, concerts and cultural performances to Jacksonville each year.
