The Canaveral Council of Technical Societies is a voluntary, not-for-profit association of engineering, technical, and scientific societies that support members who live and work along Florida’s Space Coast. The purpose of CCTS is to promote and support the activities of the technical, scientific, engineering, and professional organizations of the area in a manner that will enhance the identity and professional stature of the member societies.

The Space Coast STEM Education Council works closely with Brevard Public Schools (and others) to enhance parental and student awareness of programs designed to enhance our future workforce.  We do our best to connect the dots between student needs and community resources.  We have met with your Brevard Schools leaders on many occasions-they are fully committed to our district students.  It is important that parents are aware of the programs available to their children, beginning is 6-7th grade, to prepare them for many great High School programs.

Brevard Public Schools’ Career & Technical programs will get you going in the right direction. Name an occupation. Whatever field you choose, chances are there’s a class — or even an entire course of study — that will give you relevant experience with the latest technology. You’ll gain knowledge, experience and confidence as you explore careers from the inside out.
