Industry Certifications and FL Ready to Work Credentials
The goal of Pinellas Technical College’s career and technical programs is for each student to achieve an industry-recognized credential or professional license. Where certifications or licenses are linked to a career, Pinellas Technical College’s goal is to prepare graduates of that career technical program for the certification or license exam. In some cases, Pinellas Technical College proctors the exams. Specific certification and license requirements are available from Pinellas Technical College school counselors and program instructors. It is an expectation that students will earn the FL Ready to Work Soft Skills credential before graduating. The Digital Skills credential is also highly recommended as all careers use technology, and it now includes Al topics. The Employability Skills credential reviews basic reading and math skills used on the job. These credentials align with our BIGSIX initiative because our students will be able to articulate how professionalism, pride, focus, success, ownership, and excellence look in their chosen industry. https://www.myfloridareadytowork.com
