19. Florida High School/High Tech Florida High School/High Tech (HS/HT) is designed to provide high school students with all types of disabilities the opportunity to explore jobs or postsecondary education leading to technology- related careers. HS/HT links youth to a broad range of academic, career development and experiential resources and experiences that will enable them to meet the demands of the 21st century workforce. HS/HT is an initiative of the US Department of Labor Office of Disability Employment Policy. In Florida, it is a program of The Able Trust, also known as the Florida Governor's Alliance for the Employment of Citizens with Disabilities.

20. FL HIGH SCHOOL/HIGH TECH There are currently 29 High School/High Tech (HS/HT) project sites located across Florida
