"FMS has taken the pressure of case reviews off of our field supervisors and managers. Before we had FMS, the responsibility fell on the supervisor and manager to read all the files which is impossible with their everyday functions."
FloridaWorks
FloridaWorks is the regional workforce board for Florida's Workforce Region 9, which covers Alachua and Bradford counties. FMS provides board coordination and management, regional financial management, service provider contract management, information technology, performance management, tracking and monitoring, and one-stop career center operational oversight. As part of these services, FMS provides complete WIA, Welfare Transition, and other associated career center population data system and case record reviews to FloridaWorks. This helps ensure that contracted service providers are in compliance with local, state and federal rules, regulations and policies. We also recommend changes to improve program effectiveness and improve performance to established outcomes. FMS monitors all programs in all one-stop career centers in Region 9, develops reports of noncompliance findings, reviews and verifies corrective action taken and provides monthly statistical performance analysis. We have been providing these services for FloridaWorks since July of 2005.
