PROGRAM: BETA (Broward Employment & Training Administration)
AGENCY:
BETA (Broward Employment & Training
Administration), Patty Sausser, Director of Programs 535-2300 x 3082 Fax: 535-2342
PROGRAM MISSION: BETA is
the Administrative office in Broward County for federal funds provided through the
Workforce Investment Act and the Welfare Transition Program ( formerly WAGES).
This agency’s focus is on employment and training.
BETA works cooperatively with the Broward County Public Schools by referring participants
to appropriate literacy programs. When someone enters their program applying for training
master skills for a particular job (e.g. cook), the agency advises the applicant that this
position requires a specific grade mastery level in reading, math, etc. If the applicant
tests below that grade level, he/she would be referred to one of the Adult Community
Education Centers for remedial classes. Some applicants attend the necessary classes to
meet grade level equivalency while others decide to participate in training for a
different job – one for which they already meet the grade level requirements. |
