Duval County Public Schools offers career and technical education pathways and academies for all students. The programs offered are Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, Architecture & Construction, Arts, A/V Technology & Communication, Business, Management & Administration, Education & Training, Engineering & Technology Education, Finance, Health Science, Hospitality & Tourism, Human Services, Information Technology, Law, Public Safety & Security, Manufacturing, and Transportation, Distribution & Logistics. Each program offers multiple strands for both middle and high school students. There are industry certifications that may be earned by students in high school (9-12) and in middle school (6-8) in Duval County Public Schools. The only admission requirement is that the student must show an interest in the program. Many of the programs offered articulate to the state college. If a high school student earns an industry certification, they may enroll in one of the state colleges in Florida and immediately earn 3 credits based on the industry certification. The difference between secondary and post-secondary is a student may not be able to complete all of the credits earned due to high school requirements. However, the student can continue at a local college.

Lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation.  The district may assess each student’s ability to benefit from specific programs through placement tests and counseling, and, if necessary, will provide services or referrals to better prepare students for successful participation.
