Back in 2018 when their office was on Ford St. off of Colonial Blvd., they made my chiropractor to fill out a form so I could be exempted from doing 80 hours a month in order to keep receiving my foodstamps. When Mrs. Baca saw it, she dared to ask me if a real doctor had filled it out because my doctor had basically said that vertebral subluxation along with my lumbar radiculopathy wouldn't allow me to sit for long periods of time and that I would need to take a break every 15 minutes. I felt that she was accusing me of being a liar and I don't think that she bothered to call Dr. Filomena Strobbel who was my chiropractor at the time. Just because there are some rotten apples out there that doesn't mean that everybody is a liar so if y'all have doubts just follow up with your clients' doctors instead of falsely accusing them.

Completely useless. Indicative of a state where the governor spends all his time trying to make sure more people keep catching COVID instead of helping those in need. Florida bureaucracy is a disgrace top to bottom.

Without naming any times, dates, or names, I'll just say it's like most other government agencies. About as useful as air brakes on a turtle. Very nice people, but when it comes to actually producing results? Throw a big rock to a person having trouble swimming. That's about what you'll get here. Typical smoke and mirrors, I'm just sorry I'm out the gas and time I wasted. By the way, if you need help sleeping, they have OTC tea info for you! And don't, under any circumstances, let them change your resume info on the site unless you have your own backup file(s). Mine from a number of years ago was ******* up beyond recognition, and the original wasn't saved. So remember, you get what you pay for. And this is "free".

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Can i get funding to help me pay for courses and to get my license to be a general contractor?

Adrian Rodriguez | Sep 8, 2020
CareerSource Southwest Florida | Sep 8, 2020

We do not provide this type of funding. To approve a non-public school for workforce funding, we look for licensure with the Florida Department of Education (DOE)/Commission for Independent Education (CIE). We don’t have any on our list and not seeing any throughout the state. Feel free to visit our page for tuition funding we do provide https://careersourcesouthwestflorida.com/occupations-in-demand/

If an individual requires additional occupational skills upgrading to obtain employment, funding may be available to attend school at one of our eligible training providers in a career that is in demand. But, we operate under a Work-First concept, which means when someone seeks assistance through one of our Career Centers, we first determine if that individual has relevant, marketable work skills and is ready to enter or advance in the job market. Please visit www.careersourcesouthwestflorida.com under “Training Opportunities” page to apply for these services, to view the list of high demand jobs by occupation, our career center locations (open Monday – Friday 8am to 5pm), and training opportunities flyer.
