Alignment Evaluation Update

CareerSource Florida has contracted with EY (Ernst & Young) to conduct Phase Two of the Alignment Evaluation initiative, identifying key dynamics of the state's workforce system and exploring options for greater alignment in keeping with the REACH Act and federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act requirements. This evaluation will affect action by the state workforce development board to re-designate local workforce development areas. The multi-phase process will include broader local stakeholder engagement, research and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative inputs, and a continued emphasis on identifying exemplary service and areas for improvement.

Evaluating the alignment of Florida's local workforce development boards for consideration of consolidation is a new process for the state of Florida. One question workforce system partners, stakeholders and customers may have is how a new alignment of local workforce development boards will improve outcomes for Floridians. We have compiled a list of questions and answers for interested parties.  

Florida's REACH Act seeks to achieve a more coordinated approach in delivering and using essential workforce development resources and services through enhanced alignment and accountability.
