Support Industries

Northeast Florida continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, recently being named the third hottest job market in the U.S. by The Wall Street Journal. This growth is not only in our traditional target industries of Advanced Manufacturing, Transportation & Logistics, Financial Services, Life Sciences and Technology Services, but in our support industries as well. These support industries encompass various jobs and skill sets, all of which are vital to keeping Jacksonville thriving and providing residents with a well-rounded quality of life.

Each of these industries provides exciting career options vital to region’s long-term growth plans. Some require education beyond high school; others may require certifications that can be achieved by blending classroom work and on-the-job training. Jacksonville also provides fantastic opportunities for entrepreneurs to create their own paths to success. Look at the Career Pathway options in your particular area of interest and see the next steps in meeting your career goals.
