When Sarasota County Government asked graduating engineers what they were looking for in a career, the answer was surprising to some. Aside from a good salary, new engineers said they were looking for development experience, a route to professional licensure, and potential for growth. Sarasota County Government designed a Professional Engineer Development Program to provide opportunity for growth, as well as to satisfy the requirements for licensure as a professional engineer. This is accomplished through technical training, mentoring career guidance and growth opportunities. At the same time, PEDP program provides support the community through dedicated customer service, technical competency and personal integrity.
