Florida's Statewide Workforce Development Program

Florida’s Statewide Workforce Development Program works with Community Partners to identify and connect qualified workers with contractors for gainful employment on roadway construction projects. The program also is working throughout the state to provide opportunities for both experienced and entry-level workers to build successful careers to improve lives. **Contractors Job-Readiness Hiring and Training** FDOT’s Statewide Workforce Development Program is trying to make it easier for contractors to train road construction workers for employment. Under the Contractor Jobs-Readiness Training Initiative, contractors will receive reimbursement for recruiting, hiring, drug testing and training new employees to work on FDOT construction projects.
