Florida is number one in workforce education because of the collective efforts of our @FLCollegeSystem institutions.
This FCS Month we recognize the incredible impact of our 28 state colleges in building a stronger, more skilled workforce aligned with the evolving needs of businesses and industry across the state.

Florida continues to lead in Civics and Debate! Because of the success achieved with K-12 students through the Florida Civics and Debate Initiative, we are now giving college students a similar opportunity.
The INAUGURAL Sunshine State Debate will unite students from Florida’s Great 28 colleges for a Reagan-style debate inspired by previous presidential debates. I’m looking forward to meeting all participating students and watching them showcase their skills in February.
BIG NEWS! @FLCollegeSystem is thrilled to host the First Sunshine State Debate competition on Feb. 16! Our amazing students will COMPETE, ENGAGE and SHINE in a Reagan-style debate at Florida’s Historic Capitol. #FL250 #FLFutureLeaders
