ABOUT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

• Workforce Florida, Inc. (WFI) is the state's chief workforce policy organization. Created by the Workforce Innovation Act of 2000, the public-private partnership supports and promotes economic growth through workforce development.
• WFI is the principal architect in the state's efforts to develop and retain a highly competitive workforce responsive to the needs of employers. To improve performance and accountability, the landmark legislation establishing WFI consolidated various workforce programs and funding streams — including Florida's pacesetting welfare reform initiative — under a single umbrella.
• While WFI provides policy, planning and oversight at the state level, 24 regional workforce boards with significant representation from the business community are largely responsible for implementing programs in their communities. With entrepreneurial vision and in-depth local knowledge, these boards are encouraged to develop innovative programs that address the challenges and utilize the resources in their specific regions.
• Workforce development services in Florida are available primarily through a system of more than 200 One-Stop Career Centers designed to provide easy access to diverse services including job placement and training, temporary cash assistance and special support services such as subsidized childcare and transportation.
