Career Credentials
Valencia College will drive regional economic development by ensuring that, by 2030, 100% of Valencia College A.S., B.S.,B.A.S., and Accelerated Skills Training programs lead to starting wages that exceed the starting wage of high school graduates in Orange and Osceola counties.
As the nation’s economy changes, the skills and credentials that employers are seeking
change as well. Today, more than half of all job openings require what are called
“middle skills,” technical skills acquired through technical certificates or industry-based
certification programs. At Valencia College, we partner with more than 600 business
and industry advisory panel members to learn what types of training, skills and degree
programs are needed to ensure that Central Florida’s workforce is strong and vibrant.
From health care to construction, from information technology to public safety training,
the college offers a wide variety of options for workforce education.
