Workforce Central Florida contracts will fund digital media and network 
cyber security training for displaced workers.

Seminole State College of Florida has received contracts totaling $345,000 
from Workforce Central Florida to provide free training in network cyber 
security, digital media and medical coding.

"Seminole State is proud to partner with Workforce Central Florida to help 
workers enhance their skills," says Angela Kersenbrock, dean of Career and 
Technical Education. "The College is serious about its role in training and 
retraining workers, which is crucial to helping people return to work in 
this challenging economy."

The College is currently recruiting workers who have been displaced from the 
fields of networking and digital media. Cyber security topics will include 
analyzing system threats and risks, developing protected systems and 
conducting security audits. The digital media training will include building 
Web pages, forms and tables; creating online advertising campaigns; and 
using HTML5 and CSS3 for mobile deployment.

Both classes run from February to May. Registration ends Feb. 14.

Applicants must meet eligibility requirements based on the Workforce 
Innovation Act. To find out if you're eligible, contact Betty Maldonado, 
project manager with Seminole State's IT, Digital Media and Networking 
Department, or call her at 407.708.2490.

In addition to training displaced workers, Seminole State has contracted 
with Workforce Central Florida to offer tuition scholarships to students 
currently enrolled in the College's Medical Coding/Billing program.

Seminole State College focuses on creating and providing up-to-date training 
for high-skill, high-wage workers in industries that are critical to 
sustaining and growing Florida's diverse economy. Seminole State launched 
the digital media training program in February 2010 with a class of 17 
students. Read about that class online.
