Career Pathways

A college degree may be closer than you think!

Career pathway agreements between the School District of Manatee County and regional state colleges (like SCF) make it possible for students to receive college credit for completing certain career, technical or academy classes during high school or technical college. The credits may be applied to certificates and/or Associate of Science degrees at state colleges and/or technical colleges, as long as you continue your career path within the same field. You pay no tuition for the college credits. Please carefully review each articulation agreement for details. 

You may also be eligible for college credit through Industry Certifications. For information, visit: http://www.fldoe.org/academics/career-adult-edu/career-technical-edu-agreements/
