What CareerSource Brevard does

CareerSource Brevard Flagler Volusia is a nonprofit regional workforce development board operating as one of the local partners under CareerSource Florida, the statewide workforce system created under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Formed on July 1, 2024 through the merger of CareerSource Brevard and CareerSource Flagler Volusia, the organization serves Brevard, Flagler, and Volusia counties in East Central Florida. It is led by Executive Director Marci Murphy (in role since 2002) and operates with 101-250 employees. Its core function is to connect job seekers with employment, training, and credentials, and to connect employers with recruitment, screening, and workforce solutions. All direct services are delivered free of charge to both job seekers and employers, positioning the organization as a public-good intermediary rather than a fee-based recruiter. The entity traces its institutional history back to 1978.

The organization's product surface combines physical and digital service delivery. It operates multiple career centers across the tri-county region offering in-person career counseling, assessments, training referrals, and employer recruitment services. Digitally, it leverages the Employ Florida job board (the statewide platform for job matching owned and operated at the state level) and Skillup Metrix (a third-party online learning platform used to build job-seeker skills). Sector-specific training strategies target Aerospace/Aviation, Business/Professional/IT, Construction, Health Care, Hospitality, and Manufacturing/Advanced Manufacturing. Specialized programs serve veterans, youth, and individuals with disabilities. Service-throughput metrics disclosed for the 2024-2025 program year include 12,579 unique job seekers served, 2,013 job placements, 1,604 businesses served, and 2,088 veterans served.

The revenue model is grant-funded rather than transactional. Direct service revenue is zero; the organization does not bill job seekers or employers. Operating funds flow primarily from approximately $12 million in annual federal awards administered by the US Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Agriculture via the CareerSource Florida state framework, supplemented by state appropriations and private contributions such as a $190,000 Spectrum donation for digital equity training in January 2025. Partnerships with organizations such as Dwyer Workforce Development (CNA scholarship funding, September 2024) and membership in the Florida Atlantic Workforce Alliance consortium extend programmatic capacity without commensurate revenue cost. The economic engine is therefore sustained funder diversification within a federally-anchored base.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Professional networking and talent platform with job listings, recruiting tools, and learning products. Competes for employer recruitment attention and white-collar job seeker engagement that workforce boards traditionally serve.
• Employ Florida: Statewide job matching and labor market information portal operated by CareerSource Florida. CSBFV delivers its services through this platform, and it represents the broader statewide incumbent system of which CSBFV is a regional branch.
• Indeed: Global private-sector job matching and recruitment platform. Operates in the same labor market intermediation space as CSBFV but at massive scale via a self-serve digital model that bypasses traditional workforce boards for many employer and job seeker flows.
• CareerOneStop: U.S. Department of Labor-sponsored national career and workforce resource platform. Represents the federal-level incumbent serving similar job seeker, employer, and labor market information needs across the U.S.
