Accenture is pleased to submit this response to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) Request for Information (RFI) regarding the State's workforce information technology vision. We appreciate the role a state-of-the-art labor exchange plays as a critical component of Florida's economic competitiveness. We think there is significant opportunity for Florida to set the standard for aligning employers, workers, education and workforce development to win the global competition for jobs. As this is a response to an RFI, this submission is not intended to be an offer or otherwise legally binding, absent a final agreement. Indeed, we look forward to the opportunity for further discussion on how to serve the Department.
As a leading global management consulting and technology services company, Accenture has built employment solutions around the world. From Accenture's perspective, a world class employment system will be "business-aligned", focusing on two critical components of the economy: job seekers and the point of demand--employers. Based on our experience, there are five key components that are necessary for a high performing, world-class employment system:
Rigorous focus on employers' needs and skill requirements
Reliable data on skills and capabilities in the state workforce development system
Outcome-based incentives Independent certification of credentials Alignment and integration of stakeholders
Accenture has developed and implemented assets and capabilities with clients around the world addressing each, and a combination of, these five key components. Our response references the Integrated Virtual Labor Market that we developed for the German Federal Labor Agency, leading edge work that we have done for Skills for Chicagoland's Future, and strategy consulting projects delivered for U.S. state agencies related to economic development and efficient labor market issues. Beyond client engagements, streamlined workforce development is an important part of Accenture's corporate culture. Our global corporate citizenship initiative, Skills to Succeed, focuses on advancing employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in both mature and emerging markets.
With approximately 1,000 employees in our Tallahassee, Tampa/St. Petersburg and Miami offices, we are invested in Florida's economy and community. We look forward to discussing how we can support this important initiative
Sincerely,
Greg Martin, Managing Director Accenture, LLP
