Education Drives Economic Development

Seminole Community College has long been a driving force in Seminole County's economic development. Now, in partnership with local businesses, organizations, and universities, SCC's new Center for Economic Development will create and deliver programs to foster and maintain the skilled workforce needed to continue increasing economic productivity throughout Central Florida. Growing this economic prosperity requires three elements:

  • Education:
    Education is our business. SCC delivers an extensive array of programs that provide our students the knowledge and skills required to keep pace with Central Florida's burgeoning economy. Such a highly-skilled workforce is vital to support and attract businesses that will continue to grow our community with high-wage employment.

  • Workforce:
    To remain on the cutting-edge of the region's ever-changing, emergent technologies, Central Florida's workforce must continually acquire new skills to enhance its potential. SCC's Center for Economic Development will meet these needs by working with our community and business partners to create and deliver professional development programs to drive a globally-competitive workforce.

  • Economic Development:
    By continually learning new skills and keeping abreast of today's rapidly-changing world through courses and programs at SCC's Center for Economic Development, our region's workforce will also be better able to attract and retain businesses in targeted growth industries, benefiting not only Seminole County's economy, but ultimately, the region and state.
Mission

The Seminole Community College Center for Economic Development will be the premier provider of quality education, training, innovation, incubation and consulting programs that advance workforce and economic development throughout the Central Florida region.

Vision

To provide student-centered and industry-responsive education and training through innovative delivery of quality, "leading edge" programs and courses.
