Guiding workforce development for Florida. The statewide workforce policy and investment board advances policies and initiatives to connect employers with qualified talent, increase economic self-sufficiency, and drive workforce training and credentialing.
CareerSource Florida Inc. uses workforce training grants to help Florida employers recruit, upskill, and retain workers. The largest recent awards in the record are employee-training grants to Florida Southwestern State College for $1,253,081 in 2024 and to College of Central Florida for $1,228,500 in 2023, showing how heavily the funder leans on employer-linked training through colleges and local institutions. Its recent giving also includes support for private employers such as Welldynerx LLC, Strykermako Surgical Corp, and Bankers Healthcare Group LLC, which points to a mix of institutional and business recipients rather than a single grantee type. The foundation’s program structure centers on Florida-only workforce initiatives, including Quick Response Training, Incumbent Worker Training, and set-aside initiatives from the Governor’s reserve. Those programs are designed around customized training, credentialing, and business-driven workforce development. The pattern fits a statewide workforce policy board that distributes grants to strengthen technical and occupational skills, support new and existing employees, and align training with employer demand.
CareerSource Florida Inc. funds employee training across a range of Florida employers and education providers. In 2024, it awarded $639,198 to St Petersburg Collegeepi Center in Clearwater for employee training assistance, and $466,568 to The School Board of Hillsborough County in Tampa for the same purpose. Its support for business competitiveness is also visible in grants to employers such as $252,000 to Strykermako Surgical Corp in Weston and $210,000 to Complete Turbine Services LLC in Fort Lauderdale, both labeled employee training assistance. The grant records also include $183,000 to Berkowitz Pollack Brant Advisors & Accountants LLP in Miami, again for employee training assistance. The funder’s training portfolio extends beyond general upskilling to credential and system work through programs such as the Florida Master Credentials List (REACH Act) application process, which connects credentials to in-demand occupations. It also uses targeted initiatives for incumbent worker training, rural initiatives, and youth career exploration.
Typical grant size is $11,251 at the 25th percentile, $20,394 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent awards shown in the record range from six-figure training grants to much smaller awards, which suggests a layered grantmaking structure with both large institutional contracts and smaller employer-directed awards. CareerSource Florida Inc. is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant list shows repeated recipients across years, including Florida Southwestern State College, College of Central Florida, Pensacola State College, and Bankers Healthcare Group LLC, indicating ongoing relationships rather than one-time support.
