Good Jobs and Equity Initiative Survey

CareerSource Tampa Bay is happy to adopt a “Good Jobs & Equity” approach to labor exchanges services and how jobs and employers are presented to local job seekers.  Within this initiative, CareerSource has developed a Good Jobs & Equity standard which can be viewed at the link below.  Good Jobs & Equity standards are being adopted across the country to help employers attract and retain talent in their recruitment strategies as well as presentation with the Employ Florida system.

 To assist participating employers, CareerSource Tampa Bay has developed a supplemental survey for employers to report added information on their job postings and employer background.  Please take a moment to complete the Supplemental Survey below.  A dashboard report may be requested upon completion through our Job Order Hub.

 Thank you for your participation in the CSTB Good Jobs & Equity initiative.  If assistance is needed, please contact your CSTB Business Development Manager or the CSTB Job Order Hub.
