CareerSource Florida...A smart NEW brandname for Florida's Workforce System



Hats off to Governor Rick Scott for implementing a statewide brandname for our Workforce Florida system. As some may know, the Workforce system within the State of Florida has a State Board plus 24 working regional boards. Each entity had a different DBA for their respective region, which at times would cause confusion and not provide the single voice that is needed when dealing with our expanding Corporate/Government culture within the State of Florida. As an example, Miami Dade's Workforce Board's name was South Florida Workforce while Broward's name was Workforce One Broward.

Through the hard work of our Governor, staff of both DEO /Workforce Florida and the regional boards, a new name and concept emerged that will blanket the entire state of Florida.

Let me introduce you to: Career Source Florida which can be found at their new website www.careersourceflorida.com.

This allows a more uniformed approach and focus for the entire state while still allowing customization/flexibility by each region. If an employer now would like to hire individuals in Miami Dade and Tampa, they are dealing with one name, one concept, one result.

More to come on this exiting new realization. Help us get the word out so that our fellow Floridians can easily find the services that they may need when dealing with unemployment, career counseling, etc.
