Florida needs a world-class, skilled workforce to lead in global innovation, ensure future economic growth and fill the jobs being created by technical employers. Unfortunately, employers simply can’t find applicants with the necessary skills for today’s workplace due to a deficit of qualified, skilled workers.

This Giving Tuesday, help us raise $10,000 to kickstart our membership campaign: 10,000 Strong - Building Florida's Skilled Workforce! Donate today.
