Nominate a Manufacturing Rockstar for the 2019 FLATE Awards



Nominations for the 2019 Distinguished Manufacturing Service Recognition program or FLATE Awards are now open. For over a decade FLATE Awards program has been an effective vehicle in recognizing outstanding educators and industry professionals who have made sizable contributions to educating and training Florida's high-tech workforce. Since the implementation of the Awards program in 2006, FLATE has recognized 26 educators at the secondary and postsecondary level and 13 industry professionals across the state. This elite program has evolved over the years with FLATE partnering with the Florida Association for Industry and Technical Education (FAITE) and Florida Association for Career & Technical Education (FACTE) to jointly announce, nominate and host the Awards program.  This awards program helps us meet some specific objectives: (1) raising the visibility of manufacturing careers pathways; (2) publicly recognizing outstanding manufacturing educators for daily work; and (3) celebrating the dedication of industry and community partners to manufacturing education.

Awardees are selected from a competitive pool of distinguished nominees across Florida, and will be selected for the:

Distinguished Manufacturing Secondary Educator-of-the-Year Award
