Throughout the United States, worker skills and the preparation of workers have been identified as two of the greatest competitive challenges facing the nation’s communities today. A number of significant shifts in the economic structure have created this challenge, including the impact of information technology on the workplace, increasing globalization, the aging of the workforce, and welfare reform. Every day businesses relocate to other regions, states and countries, restructure to improve competitiveness, or deal with the downturn in the economy. Consequently, business requires new skills and efficiencies from their workers. Over the past few decades, the nation’s workforce has witnessed a reduction in high paying, long-term manufacturing jobs with low educational requirements. The New Economy is quickly replacing these jobs with those that require an entirely different set of skills. These factors have all combined to make the quality of the workforce the key component in any community’s economic health. The available labor force dictates the type of business mix that can be supported. The business mix then has a direct impact on the level of wealth that will be available to the community. This relationship must be understood to allow for careful planning and implementation of a successful economic development strategy. First Coast Workforce Development, Inc., dba CareerSource Northeast Florida (CSNEFL), forges working partnerships with local communities, elected officials, business, labor and education leaders to improve workforce education, employment, and training opportunities in Northeast Florida. Our region consists of Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns counties. Our Vision, “Northeast Florida will have a world-class workforce development system that will enable our businesses to be leaders in the global economy.” Our Mission, “Connecting employers with talent.” CareerSource Northeast Florida provides innovative services that exceed employer’s requirements for the jobs of today and the future.” 3/29/18 CareerSource Northeast Florida LWDA 08 1 | Page ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE 1.

(FCSO), today announced that it has been awarded a contract by the federal government to serve as a Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). To administer this new contract, FCSO will be adding approximately 75 positions to the company’s workforce over the next few months, mostly in Jacksonville. The new QIC contract will position FCSO to process second level Medicare Part B claim appeals for the northern half of the country, including 36 states and three United States territories. This is the second QIC contract FCSO has recently won, having been awarded a similar contract by CMS last year to serve as the Medicare Part A QIC for 23 western states and the same three United States territories. “This contract underscores FCSO’s strong commitment to CMS to deliver a wide range of quality services to Medicare beneficiaries and providers,” said Curtis Lord, chief executive officer, FCSO. “It also demonstrates our ability to win beyond our home base in today’s increasingly competitive Medicare contracting environment.” In addition to FCSO’s QIC responsibilities, the company contracts with CMS and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association to provide quality Medicare administrative services to more than three million beneficiaries and the health care providers who care for them in Florida and Connecticut.
