Governance and Consulting Services
This is a Request for Proposal for the design and implementation of a sustainable business model and operational governance to be executed consistently across the organization Centers. The Governor’s Roadmap to Florida’s Future, introduced in January 2004, is the state’s strategic plan for economic development. One of the strategic priorities in the plan is to raise the bar for excellence in education and workforce development courses available to students, jobseekers, and the current workforce. A specific goal relating to this priority is to design a statewide system of regionally concentrated and industry-driven workforce centers. The 2007 update of this plan called for expanding these centers, known as Employ Florida Banner Centers. To date, thirteen (13) centers have been designated by Workforce Florida, Inc. (WFI). The first Banner was designated in 2006, and the most recent were in 2010. Potential applicants should be aware of the staggered dates of operations and organizational maturity of each Banner Center. Respondents are encouraged to review this section of the Roadmap at http://www.eflorida.com/strategicplan.
