New CareerSource Florida Website

Built to Meet Business Needs

With information at our fingertips, today more than ever, consumers including business representatives go online first to research a product or service before acquiring it. According to the Score Association, a nonprofit organization of small business counselors and mentors supported by the U.S. Small Business Administration, 97 percent of consumers search for products and services online. Score also reports that 91 percent of consumers who have a positive experience on a company’s website end up doing business with the company.

CareerSource Florida is a statewide nonprofit organization whose mission is to connect employers with qualified, skilled talent and Floridians with employment and career development opportunities. When it was time to update its website, the new site was intentionally designed to be intuitive and useful to CareerSource Florida’s chief customers: businesses seeking talented workers.

Careersourceflorida.com now features easier navigation and more concise content to quickly direct businesses to the information, resources and CareerSource Florida network professionals they need.
