Florida Gov. Rick Scott is partnering with the South Florida Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce and a private university from the Caribbean island to offer jobs to Hurricane Maria's evacuees.
Scott said Wednesday the partnership will work through the state's job placement agency CareerSource, which received $1 million to assist families displaced by the devastating hurricane.
It includes training, advertising and English classes through Puerto Rico's Ana G. Mendez University System.
About 8,000 people displaced by Maria have sought help through the state's career centers.
