OIC of South Florida

A community-based workforce training and job placement center serving youth and adults.

OIC of South Florida (OIC-SFL) is a community-based workforce development, education and training organization that prepares our youth and adult participants to lead responsible & productive lives with holistic high-quality and comprehensive life skills development, fundamental education, superior skills-based training and employment readiness services. We assist our students with overcoming the b

arriers they face at some of the most crucial transition points in their lives: young adults facing important crossroads, and adults challenged by unemployment, re-employment, underemployment and/or release from incarceration. Participants learn leadership & coping skills, earn relevant vocational credentials and also learn how to be capable, reliable and self-sufficient employees with strong work ethics.

Leadership is a Skill. Workplace Readiness Starts Before Day One.

During OIC of South Florida's Summer Leadership Academy, participants strengthened their communication, teamwork, professionalism, decision-making, and other skills that support success in the workplace and beyond.

The Summer Leadership Academy helps prepare youth for their summer internship experience, giving them a taste of what the workforce is like before they begin their placements. This year, more than 100 young people will transition from the Academy into summer internships throughout the community. By investing in both leadership development and workforce readiness, we help prepare the next generation for long-term success.

What Does it Mean to be Middle Class in South Florida Today?

According to the 2025 ALICE Report from United Way of Broward County, 50% of Broward households cannot afford basic needs.

Many are working, contributing to the economy, and doing everything right, yet still face growing challenges tied to housing, transportation, healthcare, and everyday expenses. That is why economic mobility matters.

The Middle Class Summit 2026 brings together leaders from business, workforce development, education, and government to explore solutions that expand opportunity and strengthen pathways to the middle class.

What makes a strong workforce?

At today's OIC Job Fair, employer partners shared why workforce preparation matters.

When individuals gain the skills, training, and support needed to succeed, employers gain access to talent that reflects and strengthens our community.

Workforce development works best when employers and training organizations work together to create pathways to opportunity.

Did You Know?

Only 43% of workers in low-wage jobs move out of low-wage work over a 10-year period, according to Brookings Institution.

For many workers, economic mobility is not just about finding a job. It is about finding a pathway to higher wages, career growth, and long-term stability. That is why workforce development matters.

When individuals gain access to the right training, credentials, and career opportunities, they are better positioned to move from surviving to thriving.

The Middle Class Summit 2026 brings together leaders from business, workforce development, education, and government to explore solutions that strengthen pathways to economic mobility. Join the conversation shaping what comes next.

A strong middle class drives more than individual success. It
fuels local economies, supports businesses, and creates
long-term stability for families.

But what it takes to be middle class today looks different
than it did before.

In many U.S. regions, middle-class households now fall
within a wide income range, often between $50,000 and
$150,000 depending on cost of living, according
to SmartAsset.

That range reflects a bigger reality. The path into the middle
class is not always clear or accessible.
That is why workforce development, employer partnerships,
and forward-thinking solutions matter more than ever.

The Middle Class Summit 2026 is focused on one thing.
Expanding and strengthening pathways to economic
mobility.

Join the leaders building what comes next.

Early Bird tickets are now open with a limited-time $50
savings before prices increase.
