It is a pleasure to live and work in beautiful North Florida.

Together we will meet the challenges and deliver a workforce to meet the needs of our business community, education to prepare that workforce, and continued services to sustain economic progress in Hamilton, Jefferson,  Lafayette, Madison, Suwannee and Taylor counties.

I am proud to serve this region alongside a committed board of directors and a professional staff who are dedicated to making sure our customers get the very best service in our workforce system. Through our Workforce career centers, our staff serves the business community to assist employers and job seekers with services tailored to meet their individual needs.
