Groundbreaking for $9.5 million Nassau County Schools and Florida Community College joint project that focuses on workforce development; honors Nassau County educator
June 13, 2005 - (Jacksonville, Fla.) With the groundbreaking for The Lewis Bean Nassau Technical Career Center, the Nassau County Public School District and Florida Community College are collaborating to answer Nassau County's need for career and technical training. High-school and post-secondary students, as well as incumbent and displaced workers will have access to the Center and its programs.
This innovative 45,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility maximizes use of state funds and sharing of resources. The Technical Career Center will offer school-district programs during the day and career and technical training for adult residents in the evenings and on weekends. Based on the expressed needs of employers and labor market forecasts, the College will initially offer programs in information technology, health sciences, hospitality management, and building construction technology. The school district will offer and articulate its technical programs in health services, building maintenance, business systems technology, computer-aided drafting and design and office business systems technology.
The Center bears the name of the late Lewis Bean (affectionately known as “Red,”) long-time Nassau County educator and supporter of adult, career and technical education. The late Bean was the father of Representative Aaron Bean (R, Dist. 12).
