CareerSource Flagler Volusia and CareerSource Brevard have consolidated their workforce boards, a press release announced Tuesday.

The workforce board, now CareerSource Brevard Flagler Volusia, offers career centers in the tri-county area in Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, Orange City, Titusville, Rockledge, Patrick Air Force Base and Palm Bay. The workforce board will retain administrative offices in Rockledge and Daytona Beach, and there will be no interruption of workforce services across the tri-county area, the press release states.

“This is an opportunity to strengthen and expand our services to meet the needs of a wide range of jobseekers and employers in the region in a much broader capacity,” said Marci Murphy, CareerSource Brevard Flagler Volusia Executive Director. “With the merging of teams comes the opportunity to explore new perspectives, standardize operations, and build innovative programs to answer the needs of an ever-changing workforce environment.”

Murphy previously served as CareerSource Brevard’s president. She joined CareerSource Brevard in 2002 and became president in 2016. The merger is "part of a multi-year comprehensive plan to offer a wider scope of employment services and training programs and boost collaboration among economic, education, business and government agencies," the press release states.

Consolidating Florida’s workforce boards is a requirement by the Reimagining Education and Career Help (REACH) Act, approved by the Florida Legislature and signed into law in 2021.
