Affordable training is an integral part of building an effective work force. The Gainesville area has many valuable resources for workers to obtain entry-level computer training or upgrade their skills in a variety of fields. In addition to the University of Florida and Santa Fe College, Gainesville is home to three Employ Florida Banner Centers. FloridaWorks’ One-Stop Career Centers also provide free computer training and assessments for those who need to attain basic proficiency in order to take the next step on their career ladder. Because training is a necessary but often expensive task, there are often grants available for individuals or businesses that qualify. A Business Services representative can help you identify the resources available to you or your company.
