Employ Florida Banner Centers focus on creating cutting edge training for workers in industries that are critical to growing Florida’s diverse economy, including aviation and aerospace, biotechnology, construction, energy, homeland security and defense, logistics and distribution, and manufacturing.

The 10 Banner Centers are based at a state college, university or industry organization. They engage educational institutions, businesses and workforce economic development partners, among others, to provide a focal point for industry-specific skills training. They serve as clearinghouses for companies needing training, create relevant and rigorous new training curricula for entry-level workers as well as incumbent employees who need to upgrade their skills, and ensure training and education offered in Florida meets industry standards. New training is designed to be portable, allowing it to be taught anywhere in the state.

The Banner Center for Secondary Career Academies, formerly known as "Banner Secondary" was formed through a cooperation with one of Florida's K-12 school districts and Employ Florida to create Industry certification programs, Banner Centers, within High Schools. This vision has created a new way of looking at secondary and post secondary education programs creating workforce enrichment programs throughout the state of Florida within our education system.
