Innovative Academy is a nonprofit Community Development Corporation delivering Pre-Employment Transition Services, Work-Based Learning, On-the-Job Training, and Supported Employment under Florida Division of Vocational Rehabilitation contract — built on faith, integrity, care, and hard work.
Every student moves through the same sequence — from first exposure to paid, sustained employment — with DVR documentation at every step.
Career exploration, self-advocacy, and workplace readiness for students with disabilities, ages 14–22.
Work-Based Learning Experience — supervised, real-world placements at local employer worksites.
On-the-Job Training — structured, paid training directly with a hiring employer.
Ongoing coaching and support once a student is placed in competitive, integrated employment.
Intensive seasonal camps — job exploration and career camp curriculum, JEC & WBLE hours combined.
Our Employment Specialists work directly in the communities we serve.
Four commitments that shape how we work with students, families, and employers.
We operate from a foundation of faith in every student's capacity to grow.
Accurate documentation, honest timelines, and follow-through with DVR and families alike.
Every plan is built around the individual student, not a one-size-fits-all track.
Real placements, real hours, real accountability — for students and staff alike.
