South Florida Workforce To Host Second Round of Business Incentives Roundtable

Jan. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- The first session successfully took place this past December at the South Dade Government Center, where businesses throughout Miami-Dade learned how to gain access and benefit from various incentives and other resources offered by SFWIB Business Services. Moderated by workforce and economic development experts, the sessions are focused on how employers can retain and expand their businesses in South Florida by receiving assistance with the costs of training their workforce and prospective employees and more.

“At SFWIB, we recognize that during these tough economic times, unexpected changes can interrupt the momentum that has been built for a business. Through the Roundtables, we hope to engage local businesses in our region with valuable information that will help businesses thrive now, and in the future, said Rick Beasley, executive director for South Florida Workforce Investment Board.
