Education & Training

Do you consider yourself a leader or role model to those around you?

If you like the idea of having a positive impact on the future of others, consider a career in education and training. Having strong leaders to work in this field is vital to the success of our children and community as a whole! To teach Pre-k through 12th grades in Florida, you must complete an approved teacher education program which does require a bachelor’s degree. To teach at the university level usually requires a Ph.D. If you like the idea of education but the classroom isn’t the place for you, other careers include librarian, guidance counselor, or bus driver.

Do you want to shape and change the lives of others?

Are you passionate about a subject you think others should know?

Energy & Utilities

Do you enjoy working with your hands?

Do you enjoy doing work knowing it will help people around you?

Without energy and utility professionals, we would be in a very dark place.... literally! Crucial to our everyday lives, this world provides us with electricity to power our homes and businesses, clean water, and let’s not forget cellular and internet services. If working in an office isn’t for you, consider becoming a power line installer and repairer or a telecommunication equipment installer, mostly spent working outside. These careers only require a high school degree, as do power plant operators and water treatment plant operators. Some energy and utilities careers do require up to a bachelor’s, such as occupational health and safety specialists.
