It is our goal in Workforce Education to provide the state’s workforce with the tools and training opportunities needed to get back to work. Please share this information with your network, family, and friends.
Re-employment Assistance is Available.
The Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), which handles unemployment compensation claims, is now allowing paper applications for those unable to complete the online application due to capacity challenges for the online application. This LINK will allow applicants to register with the DEO and apply online or download the paper application. If applying with a paper application, applicants must print, complete and mail the application to DEO. People applying for Re-employment Assistance should first try to use the online application system for expediency; however, due to the high volume of applications and capacity issues, if the system is not responding, paper applications are available. CareerSource Broward one-stop centers also have printed copies of the application and FedEx is offering free printing and mailing of the Re-employment Assistance applications.

Workforce Education Information Webinars.
Now is the time to encourage individuals to pursue an advanced certificate or technical degree. COVID-19 has caused a great disruption in our world, country, community, jobs, and family. An advanced certificate or technical degree could be just the credential needed for those whose employment was negatively affected by the CoronaVirus. Please share this link and invite them to the Broward College Workforce Education Webinars.
