DeFUNIAK SPRINGS Northwest Florida State College has taken a more hands-on approach to its Chautauqua Center.
The college remodeled two buildings on the DeFuniak Springs campus and transformed them into the Walton Works Training Center of Excellence, which hosts 10 new workforce-ready programs. Among them are law enforcement, fire academy, emergency medical technician, paramedic, cybersecurity, drone technology, electrical welding, construction and HVAC.
Michael Erny, the dean of career education, said the programming began in January.
“We think this will be a game changer for that area, bringing these programs and bringing this life and activity to the campus that wasn’t serving the work force directly for so long,” Erny said. “Now we’re able to provide that. We’re really in position to make a difference with the local work force.”
