The Quick Response Training (QRT) an employer-driven program administered through a state application Training Grants and is in partnership with a local educational or training institution. QRT is designed to retain and attract businesses and create new high wage jobs. This program is structured to be flexible and to “res pond quickly” to businesses’ training needs.
When workers lack needed training and businesses experience skill gaps, the company’s
ability to compete, expand and retain workers can be compromised. Florida’s Incumbent
Worker Training (IWT) Program, funded by the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act (WIOA), and administered by CareerSource Florida addresses such needs.
Internships are also administered locally and are designed to provide recent graduates of occupational skill upgrade training with hands-on experience. Interns are placed in meaningful positions at businesses who may be hiring in the future. Interns are placed on the Southwest Florida Workforce Development Board’s payroll for up to 520 hours at 80% of a normal starting wage. The intent is to let an intern prove his or her value in order to secure a full time position at the end the program. There is no cost to the employer and the intern receives a meaningful work experience – a truly win/win situation for both.
