Although continuing construction throughout the Florida Keys and South Dade may bring pro-and-con discussions, there are multiple projects underway now and in the near future.
Their Apprenticeships in Construction Technologies program, incluiding Plumbing and HVAC, have an upcoming deadline of Nov 1, 2023 to register for January 5, 2024 classes.
As explained in a CFK Press Release, “CFK's Apprenticeships in Construction Technologies offer opportunities to help individuals train and advance in high-wage, high-demand construction careers throughout the Florida Keys. In collaboration with local construction businesses, CFK's apprenticeship programs provide education and training in all aspects of the respective trades—from conceptual to practical skills. Through its "learn while you earn" model, students are employed (and paid) full-time with a sponsoring employer that is partnered with CFK. They attend classes, which are tuition-free, while developing their skills through on-the-job training with their sponsor. As apprentice students advance through the program, their progress is rewarded with periodic wage increases.
Upon successful program completion, an apprentice will be considered a "journey worker" and will receive a four-level certification by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) as well as a nationally recognized Completion of Apprenticeship certificate by the State of Florida.”
The other upcoming deadline of Sunday, November 5th is to apply for numerous available scholarships.
“The CFK Foundation was established to support The College of the Florida Keys' students, programs and services by providing scholarships to CFK students through the support of private donors and public agencies.
Criteria for awards differ for each scholarship and may be based on financial need, grade point average, essay submissions, leadership, and character.”

Students may be awarded more than one scholarship and some are aligned with certain areas of study. The general categories are: High School Seniors, Baccalaureate Students, Other Multi-Year Awards, First Generation in College, Student Ambassadors, Nursing and Health Sciences, Marine Science, Hospitality, Law Enforcement, Non-Traditional Students, and Other.
