Lake Worth Open House: Trade and Industry

Palm Beach State College’s Trade & Industry programs (part of the Industry, Manufacturing, Construction & Transportation pathway) deliver hands-on training in modern labs at the Education and Training Center on the Lake Worth campus. Led by experienced industry professionals, these programs lead to nationally recognized certifications and high-demand careers—many completable in a year or less. 

Key areas include:

• Construction: Electrical, plumbing, HVAC/R, carpentry, building trades, low voltage, and apprenticeships
• Manufacturing: Welding, machining, and CNC
• Transportation: Automotive, diesel, and marine service
• Personal services & hospitality: Cosmetology, barbering, facial/nails specialist, culinary arts, and hospitality management

Affordable tuition, financial aid options, and flexible day/evening schedules make these programs accessible. Graduates often earn significantly more than the average high school graduate while gaining real-world skills with the latest technology.
