South Florida Community College (SFCC) is collaborating with Vercipia Biofuels and other biofuel/biomass companies in Florida's agricultural heartland to address the technician workforce needs of the advanced biofuels industry. The goals of the project are to educate technicians to work in the advanced biofuels production industry and agriculture biomass production; develop instructional materials about advanced biofuels production; and establish a biofuels education pathway from area high schools to South Florida Community College to Florida universities.To achieve its goals, the Bioenergy Education project is creating (1) Associate of Science degree programs in Biofuels Technology and in Biomass Cultivation, (2) industry-recognized certificate education programs in biofuels technology and biomass production, (3) transfer agreements with Florida universities, (4) continuing education workshops and seminars for biofuel industry professionals, and (5) dual-enrollment biofuels education courses for area high school students interested in biofuels. The evaluation plan is collecting quantitative data on participant enrollment, retention, graduation, transfer, and employment, and qualitative data on participant and employer satisfaction.

南佛罗里达社区学院（SFCC）正在与Vercipia生物燃料和其他生物燃料/生物质公司在佛罗里达的农业中心地带，以解决先进的生物燃料行业的技术人员的劳动力需求。该项目的目标是教育技术人员在先进的生物燃料生产工业和农业生物质生产中工作;编写关于先进生物燃料生产的教学材料;并建立从地区高中到南佛罗里达社区学院再到佛罗里达大学的生物燃料教育途径。为了实现其目标，生物能源教育项目正在创建（1）生物燃料技术和生物量培养的理学副学士学位课程，（2）生物燃料技术和生物质生产方面的行业认可证书教育计划，（3）与佛罗里达大学的转让协议，（4）生物燃料行业专业人员的继续教育讲习班和研讨会，以及（5）为对生物燃料感兴趣的地区高中生开设双招生生物燃料教育课程。评估计划正在收集参与者入学、保留、毕业、转移和就业的定量数据，以及参与者和雇主满意度的定性数据。
