The Martin County School District (MCSD) has been awarded $765,920 through the Florida Department of Education’s Workforce Development Capitalization Incentive Grant Program (CAP) — marking the district’s third award from this competitive state initiative.
The Workforce CAP Grant plays a vital role in establishing and expanding career and technical education (CTE) programs that lead to industry-recognized certifications. These funds help ensure students across Florida have access to the tools, resources, and training needed to thrive in emerging industries and meet the demands of the state’s growing economy.
Under this year’s award, MCSD will launch and expand several programs that prepare students for high-wage, high-demand careers. Newly supported programs include:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundations
Civil and Survey Drafting
Nursing Assistant (Acute and Long-Term Care)
The district will also receive additional funding support for existing programs to build upon previous CAP investments, including:
Welding Technology Fundamentals
Building Construction Management
Engineering Pathways
Allied Health Assisting
Superintendent Michael Maine expressed his appreciation for the continued support from the Florida Department of Education and emphasized the impact of these grants on student success.
“We are very pleased to receive our third Workforce CAP Grant award,” Superintendent Maine said. “This continued investment strengthens our ability to provide students with hands-on learning experiences that lead to industry certifications and meaningful career opportunities. We are grateful for the state’s partnership in helping us prepare students for the workforce of tomorrow.”
