Build a Better Workplace by Fostering a Culture of Recognition

A key retention strategy is to recognize employees for their work and dedication. FloridaMakes now provides the means for all manufacturers with a registered apprenticeship program to elevate recognition of their apprentices through the FloridaMakes Manufacturing Apprentice of the Year Awards.
