                         SY2015-2016 to SY2017-2018 STRATEGIC PLAN

INTRODUCTION
Suncoast Technical College actively participates in the annual School Board of Sarasota County improvement planning process as well as its
own three-year strategic planning process. The current three-year planning process was initiated during the 2007-08 school year, and is
developed annually by the school administration and reviewed by the school’s Shared Decision Making Team and the School Advisory
Council. This current plan encompasses our school and districts annual School Improvement Plan.
Currently Suncoast Technical College is the only technical college in Sarasota County and has been in operation for over 45 years. We offer
technical and adult education programs (ESOL/ABE/GED/AHS) to high school students, dual enrolled high school students, and adult
students. Our locations include the main campus (Beneva Rd. Sarasota), North Port Extension (Price Blvd. North Port), Venice Extension
(Bahama St. Venice), Fire Science Extension (Sarasota), and Newtown Extension (Sarasota). These programs are delivered via traditional,
and alternative instructional methods, and lead to industry certification or licensure and qualification for entry-level employment in a variety
of technical fields. In addition, Suncoast Technical College partners with a number of local employers to provide specific training through its
Continuing Workforce Education programs, along with fee-based short-term courses to enable licensure renewal in a number of technical
occupations.

MISSION
The Suncoast Technical College provides quality technical education to meet workforce development and community needs.

VISION
We believe each individual has varied abilities and talents, and it is Suncoast Technical College’s goal to help each reach his/her highest
potential. It is the responsibility of the staff to assist in the identification of these abilities and talents, to offer learning experiences to help
guide the student toward gainful entry level employment and personal satisfaction, to develop the student’s employability skills and work
ethic, to enhance existing employment skills, and to establish learning situations in which the student can experience success in all phases of
the learning process.
