c.a.r.e. program

For employers, partnering with Florida Trade Academy means gaining access to a pool of highly skilled, motivated workers who are ready to contribute to your business from day one. Our unique C.A.R.E. (Career Advancement & Retention Excellence) wrap-around service model ensures that our graduates receive continuous support.

local support

This comprehensive support begins with connecting graduates to a Community-Based Agency located in the same county as their employer, creating a local team support system that helps facilitate a smooth transition into the workplace. Certificants who receive C.A.R.E. services are equipped for sustained success within your company, benefitting from comprehensive, ongoing support that reduces turnover and fosters employee loyalty.

financial aid & incentives

In addition to the benefits of having highly skilled and well-supported employees, employers can also take advantage of federal and state tax credits, as well as workforce development grants, to offset the costs of training. Apprenticeship programs with FTA can help ensure a steady pipeline of workers who are tailored to meet your company’s specific needs, promoting growth and operational efficiency.
