Meet Nick!
Nick is a former WBLE program student who was placed five years ago at the Benedict Family Restaurant in Largo. With training and support from managers Jared and Jeremy, Nick has grown into an experienced cook and a true kitchen master.

It was great to see Nick back at work and thriving. We also highly recommend stopping by the Benedict Family Restaurant for their excellent food quality and warm, welcoming hospitality.

When I became governor seven years ago, I signed an executive order that established an ambitious goal: to make Florida the #1 state for workforce education by 2030. Today, I was proud to announce that we achieved that goal—five years ahead of schedule.

Postsecondary enrollment in career and technical education programs has risen 30% during my time as governor, reflecting strong demand and confidence in these pathways. Florida’s apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship system has reached a historic milestone, supporting a record 25,000 active participants statewide. We have also seen a 14% increase in new apprenticeship programs.

Thanks to our investments and policies to promote workforce education, Florida has a stronger pool of skilled, job-ready talent than ever before.
