Florida High School/High-Tech

The Florida High School/High Tech (HS/HT) program provides opportunities for students with disabilities and other at-risk students to explore potential future careers. The program is designed to help students determine their interests and aptitudes, provide mentors, offer job-shadowing and internships, and provide leadership opportunities.  HS/HT has been shown to reduce high school dropout rates and increase the overall self-esteem of participating students.

 

Florida HS/HT is an initiative of the US Department of Labor and the Able Trust. The program is currently offered at high schools in Charlotte, Glades, Hendry, and Lee Counties.
