Background
Professional Progress grew from conversations of Jacksonville
government and business leaders. The Department of Environmental
Protection’s (DEP) Northeast District office and First Coast
Manufacturers Association (FCMA) recognized its employees’ and members’
needs for career development courses on subjects necessary for success
and survival in the workplace and created Professional Progress.
This innovative program provides instruction, interaction and
discussion related to skills necessary for success in today’s workplace.
Taking the extra steps that many degree programs do not, this program
offers courses on time management, financial planning, conflict
resolution, presentation skills, basic law, civic pride, stress
management, cultural awareness and overall professional development.
Students in this program represent member companies of First Coast
Manufacturers Association and the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection, Jacksonville’s Environmental and Regulatory Department, the
St. Johns Water Management District.
