Choosing a career can be a little overwhelming…
Hillsborough County Public School District operates four technical colleges that offers over 35 postsecondary certificate programs that prepare students for employment in health careers, business marketing, industrial education and public service. This site allows you to explore our programs and list resources that could assist you with taking steps in preparing for “life after high school” or pursuing a new career.

The first step is career planning. This includes asking yourself tough questions; thinking about your strengths as an individual; discovering your interests; considering different types of jobs within an industry; and knowing where to obtain the necessary knowledge and skills. For more information call (813) 231-1907 to speak with a program advisor, or visit the Adult and Career Services Center.

Lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation. The district may assess each student’s ability to benefit from specific programs through placement tests and counseling, and, if necessary, will provide services or referrals to better prepare students for successful participation. The district prohibits discrimination in the terms and conditions of employment, and in access to educational programs and activities, as described in the Non-Discrimination Statement within the Notices section contained in the blue banner at the bottom of this page.
