In its Appropriations Bill, the 2004 Legislature earmarked $400,000 in federal funds allocated to Workforce Florida, Inc. to seek competitive proposals for intervention services for Florida students who have failed the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) and therefore run the risk of either dropping out of school or facing significant obstacles to full-time employment. The Request for Proposals is issued in response to that charge from the Legislature. We encourage your participation, and you will note that non-profits, faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible to compete. As always with Florida workforce grants/projects, all proposals must be developed and submitted in collaboration with your respective Regional Workforce Board(s).

The deadline for submitting proposals is - 5:00 PM, Eastern, October 15, 2004.

If you have any questions regarding this RFP, please submit them via email to Mike Johnson.
