Using the $7 million given to them in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act monies, CareerSource Central Florida will assist 4,000 dislocated workers from the county's hardest-hit business sectors, including hospitality, restaurant, tourism, transportation and retail. The Orange County grant will enable CSCF to provide career counseling, trainings, internships and support services that will pave the way to employment. The goal is to have at least 75 percent of these dislocated workers hired by June of next year, earning an average wage of $15 per hour with economic impact of $93.6M in the Central Florida region.
