When Prioria needed qualified employees to fill positions required to win a multi-million dollar international contract, but didn’t the time or resources to recruit, FloridaWorks stepped in. FloridaWorks is the regional workforce board for Alachua and Bradford counties and a member of the Employ Florida network. Utilizing the Employ Florida Marketplace to find qualified employees, FloridaWorks provided this cutting edge, start-up company with talent. With the help of business expansion resources and new employees provided by FloridaWorks, Prioria was able to win the international contract.

“The Employ Florida Marketplace and FloridaWorks helped us fill nine newly created jobs and win an international military contract,” states Bryan da Frota, CEO and Co-founder.
