History

Learning Alliance was founded in 2004. Throughout its existence, we have partnered with Florida Local Workforce Boards, provided over 300 grant funding initiatives to aid in workforce development, worked with Veterans Florida as a partner to provide Veteran training and recruitment. Our experience provided us the ability to obtain State Authorization as an educational provider by the Florida Department of Education (#5422). Recently, we aligned with the Telecommunications where we are dedicating our time as well as working towards apprenticeship alignment with institutions. Most recently, we have delved into new training methodologies to include Virtual and Augmented reality, and have also worked with industry partners, like T-Mobile, to create programs for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
