ENCLOSURES: City Commission Meeting
March 14, 1996
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
approving the agreement to continue the entity known as the South Florida Employment
and Training Consortium.
BACKGROUND
The Department of NET recommends ratification of the attached resolution, approving
the attached inter -local agreement to continue the entity known as the South Florida
Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC).
The City of Miami, the City of Miami Beach, the City of Hialeah, Metropolitan Dade
County and Monroe County currently operate under an inter -local agreement, creating the
South Florida Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC). This currently structured
agreement allows the Consortium to conduct programs on an area wide basis. It further
provides for employment and training opportunities for the economically disadvantaged,
unemployed, underemployed and others meeting the eligibility criteria for programs
operated under this agreement. One of the primary purpose of the Consortium is to
conduct programs under the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982 (JTPA).
As you may be aware, the State of Florida has initiated a new Workforce Development
System initiative. One feature of the new initiative is to coordinate State and Federally
funded Job Programs under one State Advisory Board, to ensure ease of coordination.
Enterprise Florida Jobs and Education Partnership Board has been designated the
coordinating body. This board has additionally been given the responsibility to ensure
coordination and implementation of the new jobs initiative at the local level. The Beacon
Council was designated by the State Advisory Board as the local agency to coordinate
and provide oversight during the initial planning stages.

Continuation of the South Florida
Employment Training Consortium (SFETC)
March 6,1996
Page 2
A series of local Task Force Planning Meetings were convened by the Beacon Council to
discuss the new Work Force System implementation for Dade and Monroe Counties. It
was concluded that the best interest of the community would be served by the South
Florida Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC) continuing to provide for the
planning, review, funding, evaluation, and coordination of programs in the Dade and
Monroe Counties area.
The attached Consortium agreement confirms our desire to continue the currently
structured inter -local agreement thru June 30, 1998. It includes, the new State Jobs
initiative description and language, and it establishes the system for the development of
the new Job and Education Partnership (JEP) Board.
