Thank you to Emerald Coast Technical College for being a trusted partner in developing our future workforce!

CONNECTING STUDENTS WITH CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AT ECTC!

One of the many things we LOVE at Emerald Coast Technical College is having CareerSource Okaloosa Walton right here on our campus every day! Their partnership provides our students with valuable resources, career guidance, and connections to local employers.

Yesterday, ECTC was excited to host CareerSource Okaloosa Walton's Healthcare Employer Pop-Up featuring Miramar Beach Rehabilitation!

Our students had the opportunity to meet with representatives from Miramar Beach Rehabilitation, learn about available healthcare positions, and make connections with potential future employers!

The timing couldn't have been better! Students from Walton High School (WHS) were also on campus touring ECTC and had the opportunity to stop by, meet the representatives, and learn about career opportunities in healthcare. Students also were able to learn about the scholarship opportunities they may qualify for with CareerSource Okaloosa Walton that can be used for many of the ECTC programs.

A HUGE thank-you to CareerSource Okaloosa Walton and Miramar Beach Rehabilitation for investing in our students and helping connect education with employment opportunities!

Soar into Your Future at ECTC!

Mission Statement: We prepare and empower today's students to meet the demands of an evolving and competitive workforce.
