Episode 7 of The Source Podcast explores pre-apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship opportunities for youth.

Hosted by CareerSource Broward Manager of Youth Programs and Services, Yushika Florence, this conversation with Broward Workforce Development Board Member Rick Shawbell and JATC instructor Blake Kanarek examines how apprenticeships combine classroom instruction with on-the-job training, helping participants build practical skills while earning an income.

The episode also discusses why apprenticeships can be a strong career pathway for individuals seeking an alternative to a traditional college route.

The Source is CareerSource Broward’s podcast, featuring real workforce stories and the programs that help Broward County residents build skills and move into new careers.

In Episode 6, host Maurice Gardner, Senior Vice President of Operations at CareerSource Broward, spotlights a career-change journey that shows how training plus hands-on experience can open doors.

Maurice sits down with Javinne McCoy, an IT assistant intern at CareerSource Broward, who shares how he pivoted into information technology after working in counseling for about a decade. Javinne talks about using the WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) program, completing an eight-month network technician program, earning three IT certifications, and gaining valuable exposure in a live IT environment through an internship opportunity.

What happens when a workforce development board treats artificial intelligence as a new operating system for business rather than just another tech trend?

Together they unpack CareerSource Broward’s plans for the AI Playbook for Small to Medium-Sized Employers, a living online guide currently being created to help Broward County employers understand AI, put it to work, build their own tools, and lead their teams through change.
