We'd like to thank the businesses who worked with us and utilized our services. We'd also like to express our gratitude to the economic development organizations who advocate our services and connect our Business Services team to employers, community-based organizations who refer customers in need and educational institutions who provide training for our customers. Special thanks goes to Suncoast Workforce staff that worked hard this past year to meet the demands of the community and for their continued focus on our Mission: To recruit, train and retain talent for the Suncoast and Vision: To be the workforce leader in Florida. Had it not been for these partnerships and our dedicated staff, our programs and services would not have been as far reaching. Thank you for a great year! |
