Current Narrative:

The Performance Funding Model (PFM) rewards annual achievement and drives systemic change to help Florida become a global leader for talent by encouraging the 24 local workforce development boards to enhance services for Florida businesses and job seekers. Participation in the PFM is voluntary. Local boards that do not opt in to the PFM remain eligible for other state funding.

Participating local boards are awarded funding for superior performance on metrics within the PFM each fiscal year. To encourage local board participation, CareerSource Florida allots a portion of the federal discretionary funds set aside for statewide activities to reward performance on PFM metrics. Local boards must perform on all metrics, by meeting minimum thresholds and a global performance target, to be considered for PFM performance funding. Local boards that meet these requirements are then evaluated for Target, Improve and Excel funds within the PFM.

Local boards receive additional credits for serving the following people with barriers to employment:

  • Formerly incarcerated individuals
  • Homeless individuals
  • Individuals with disabilities
  • Reemployment Assistance claimants
  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants
  • Veterans
  • Welfare Transition Program participants

CareerSource Florida and DEO offer ongoing technical assistance through webinars, one-on-one telephone consultations and in-person presentations, including trainings at the Florida Workforce Professional Development Summit.

CareerSource Florida is currently conducting a comprehensive analysis of the PFM to determine the impact of the model on behavioral change across the local boards and to assess the specific performance relationships between the metrics in the PFM and WIOA core measures. The intent of this assessment is to provide additional technical assistance to local boards as needed and to inform the development of a long-term sustainable performance model that continues to support Florida’s priorities and needs and more closely aligns with WIOA.

Additional information is collected through CareerSource Florida sector initiatives, local board pilot projects and statewide higher education data to support market-informed decision-making and enable statewide policy development.
