Workforce Employer Survey

The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic brought many challenges to Southwest Florida’s employers. Yet even during the pandemic, the region’s employers identified finding qualified employees as the biggest challenge to their workforce/talent needs. This 2021 Workforce Employer Survey attempts to better understand the recruiting, hiring, and training approaches and challenges your organization must overcome to find qualified employees as we begin to put the pandemic behind us. The data gathered in the Survey will be reported in an aggregate (unidentifiable) format and the specific information about your organization will not be published.

Since no single organization can solve big social problems alone, FutureMakers Coalition brings together local organizations and people from different sectors (like businesses, nonprofits, and government) to work on common goals. This collaboration aims to improve Southwest Florida’s education and workforce system, making it a better place to live, work, learn, and play.

The impact dashboard shows key regional education and workforce goals that everyone is working toward, with the aim of transforming the workforce. It provides a snapshot of progress by tracking important indicators that show how the system is changing over time. While these changes take time and there is often a delay between when the data is collected and becomes available, the dashboard helps us understand where we need to focus our efforts to achieve our shared goals.
