Professional Services Overview

Professional Services are occupations in the service sector requiring special training in the arts or sciences. Some professional services require holding professional degrees and licenses and they also require specific skills such as architects, accountants, engineers, doctors, lawyers and teachers. 

Here at South Dade our Professional Services Magnet is comprised of the following Strands of study:

• Agri technology and Horticulture
• Automotive
• Building and Construction

Each strand offers a pathway into certification and hands on training to help students in their post-secondary goals. All classes and certifications are aligned to FLDOE Frameworks and supervised by the MDCPS Career Technical Education (CTE) Office.
