It’s been a tough year for workers across South Florida. Thousands have lost jobs—from tech and media to hospitality and health care—as layoffs continue to hit multiple industries.
According to the Florida Department of Commerce, Bureau of Labor Market Statistics, unemployment has risen over the past year, climbing from about 1.6% to around 2.5%, leaving more than 34,000 people currently out of work.
But there’s help and hope.
The annual Envision ME Conference is stepping in, offering support, strategies and a clear path forward for women navigating career transitions.
The three-day event, running from Jan. 23-25, is designed specifically for South Florida women ready to reflect, reset and rebuild after a year of uncertainty.
Conference founder Chanae Woods, a South Florida native, says the end of the year is a critical time for career reflection.
“A lot of times you feel burnt out, you feel tired, and the work we do is really important,” she said. “To sustain that and keep going, it’s essential to have moments of self-care.”
Here’s the best part: women who have lost a job in the past year can register for free.
The conference covers professional growth, mindset shifts and practical next steps to help you start 2025 with focus and confidence.
