Workforce Investment Program

​​The Broward County Board of County Commissioners has instituted the "Broward County Workforce Investment Program" to encourage local economic development through the hiring of economically disadvantaged or hard-to-hire individuals. Through the program, contractors are encouraged to work with CareerSource Broward as a first source for the recruitment and possible employment of employees for work on County-funded projects. Projects covered under this program are at least $500,000 in annual payments.​ Learn More​
