The Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce (GACC) knows that a qualified workforce is an essential element of a strong local economy. As part of our commitment to workforce development, GACC has partnered with FloridaWorks to provide workforce development business services. FloridaWorks is the formal name for the Region Nine Workforce Board, and its mission is growing business and jobs through a skilled workforce. Through our partnership with FloridaWorks, we are helping our community build a world-class workforce that meets the needs of local business and provides opportunities for our residents. The Business Services team at the Chamber offers a variety of services to help you recruit, train and retain employees. If you’re looking for a position with a local employer, a team member can match you with an available position or help you take the next step in your career ladder. Business Services staff can also connect you with one of our other partners or providers for more intensive services. The resources and links throughout this site show that Gainesville is one of the nation’s best communities for both employers and job seekers.
FloridaWorks will host an East Gainesville Job Fair on Saturday, May 17 at the Sidney Lanier Gymnasium from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registration is $50 if paid before April 30. Contact Joe Johnson for more information.
