Located at 3100 Fruitville Road, the Tom & Debbie Shapiro Career Resource Center houses a variety of programs designed to foster a new generation of community leaders and industry professionals who are fully prepared to work and thrive in a competitive job market. Programs available for teens include, but are not limited to, college and career prep, entrepreneurial training, leadership development and vocational training with focus areas in hospitality and culinary arts, automotive technology, coding, plumbing, carpentry and music and video production.
