Thanks again for creating this experience [Summer Explorer Program] – the kids had a great time. Many of them expressed an interest in a trades-related position. We know this will make a big difference in the lives of these young adults!

Carolyn McMorran

D.M. Assistant Vice President of Professional and Continuing Education, Valencia College

Today we conducted our first “signing day” for a scholar who started as summer employment but has been hired by Electric Supply and will be enrolled in their electrician program! She has always wanted to be an electrician and now she is on her way!

Principal Sumter Prep Academy

We have had a great experience with our current partnership with CareerSource Central Florida. It has been a pleasure working with you coordinating fairs, getting great candidates, and the communication has always been clear and understandable. You are very professional and detailed oriented… In fact, we have also started partnerships with CareerSource in Polk County and Brevard with your assistance.

Valerie Santiago

MBA, Angels for Kids On Call

When I reached the CareerSource Central Florida facilities, I was kindly answered; the people were educated, friendly and very collaborative doing their job, guiding me and giving their best advice… I doubt that in the future I’ll find people who can help us better than you have done with my daughter and me.
