I had the pleasure of joining @FLACommerce at the Future of Florida Forum to discuss how Florida is building the talent pipelines needed to support growth across our targeted industries. Workforce development, education, economic development, and industry all have a role to play, and partnerships remain key to ensuring Florida employers have access to the skilled talent they need to succeed.
Thank you to the @FLChamber for convening these important discussions.
For young adults looking to build a career, on-the-job experience can be just as valuable as a classroom education.
Registered apprenticeships help make both possible, combining paid, hands-on training with industry-recognized credentials and connections to long-term career opportunities.

Had a great discussion on the Small Biz Florida podcast at the Future of Florida Forum around workforce development, apprenticeships, and the importance of helping Florida businesses build strong talent pipelines.
Thank you to the Florida SBDC at @IRSCTheRiver and the @FloridaSBDCN for the opportunity to highlight the important work happening across our state.
Small businesses and entrepreneurs help drive Florida's economy and strengthen communities across our state.
Go behind the scenes with CareerSource Florida President and CEO @AJohnstonFLA as she visits Walls Distilling to learn how a local Tallahassee business is creating a unique product, investing locally, and contributing to Florida's economic vitality.
Florida's economy is fueled by entrepreneurs who turn great ideas into thriving businesses. It was a pleasure visiting Walls Distilling and seeing how craftsmanship, local partnerships, and innovation contribute to Florida's economic success.
@CareerSourceFL supports a strong business climate where Florida companies of all sizes can grow and thrive.

I was honored to welcome attendees to the 2026 Veterans Workforce Training Summit and recognize the partners working every day to connect Florida’s veterans with meaningful career opportunities.
Our veterans bring invaluable leadership, discipline, and experience to Florida’s workforce. Together, through the CareerSource Florida network and initiatives like Paychecks for Patriots, we are building stronger pathways from military service to lasting civilian careers. 🇺🇸

I'd be remiss not to recognize Commissioner @HenmackIII's new goal of 70,000 active registered apprentices by 2030. Thank you for your leadership and for challenging us to reach even greater heights. CareerSource Florida and our partners across education and industry are ready to help make that vision a reality.

I appreciated the opportunity to present with @YoppToTheTop at @EducationFL's Board of Education meeting today to discuss Florida's continued expansion of registered apprenticeships. We shared how education, workforce, and industry partners are working together toward Florida's goal of 50,000 active apprentices by 2030 and highlighted the important role local workforce boards and apprenticeship navigators play in connecting more Floridians to earn-while-you-learn career pathways. I'm grateful for the strong collaboration driving this work and excited about the opportunities ahead for Florida's workforce.

Great news for Florida's workforce system.
The @USDOL has approved Florida's latest WIOA waiver requests, providing valuable flexibility to strengthen service delivery and increase opportunities for jobseekers, workers, and businesses statewide. The approved waivers support innovative approaches to training, employment retention and youth workforce programs, helping Florida continue to build a responsive, business-driven workforce system.
The approval comes as the U.S. Department of Labor moves forward with changes to the Statistical Adjustment Model (SAM), an issue Florida helped bring to the forefront and reflecting that state’s continued leadership in shaping workforce policies that better serve states, employers, and workers.
CareerSource Florida appreciates the collaboration of our state and local workforce partners who contributed to this effort. Together, we remain focused on connecting Floridians to opportunity and helping businesses access the talent they need to grow.
Read the approved waiver and learn more about how these flexibilities will strengthen workforce services for Floridians and businesses statewide at Signed-FL-2026-USDOL-Waiver-Approval-Governor-Letter.pdf
