High School Dual Enrollment at Suncoast Technical College (STC) provides students with a unique opportunity to split their educational experience between high school and a specialized STC program. “At STC, I felt like I was truly gaining practical knowledge and skills, as opposed to spending 45 minutes in one class and then moving on to another without a real sense of direction,” say Master Automotive Technology STC Alumni, Dalton Linn. For many, Dual Enrollment provides a more practical, hands-on alternative to the traditional high school classroom setting. Programs like STC’s Master Automotive Technology are designed to equip students with real-world skills, preparing them to enter the workforce with confidence. “The experience really paid off for me. Now, I’m employed at the Ford dealership in Sarasota,” says Dalton. Graduates often find themselves ahead of their peers, impressing employers with their technical knowledge and job readiness. “I’m grateful for the instructors and everything I learned here—it’s knowledge I still use every day. Plus, the program is free with tuition and fees!”
