The state is investing $40 million dollars to expand workforce education programs across more than three dozen school districts and colleges, including in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.

The grant program, recently announced by Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas, awarded about $4 million to Broward programs and nearly $6 million for Miami-Dade programs. Palm Beach schools were given just shy of $1 million dollars.

Since 2023, the Workforce Development Capitalization Incentive Grant Program — also known as Workforce CAP — has invested $240 million to help develop and sharpen the skills of Florida’s future workforce. The technology, medicine and mechanical industries are some of the program’s targets.

“Florida’s workforce is stronger than ever because we are investing directly in students and the programs that prepare them for success,” said Kamoutsas in a statement. “This $40 million investment expands opportunities across the state, giving students access to cutting-edge training and ensuring Florida remains the best place to build a career.”
