CBE unveils new name
The Center for Business Excellence and the entire Florida workforce system are planning to launch a new statewide unified brand: CareerSource Florida. This universal brand will align the workforce system under a single, statewide identity to improve customer awareness and use of system services and resources, according to a statement from the Center for Business Excellence.
Beginning next year, the Workforce Board and One-Stop Employment Centers will be known as CareerSource Flagler-Volusia. The CareerSource Florida brand identity was developed through market research. More than 1,500 Floridians contributed to its development through 27 focus groups in 10 cities and statewide surveys of job-seekers and businesses.
