In addition to having companies representing all of the industries listed above, Dania Beach has major employers from industries unique to the city. Living and working in Dania Beach is a 5-minute commute versus the countywide average of 32 minutes – and don’t forget what you save in gas and car maintenance.

Our community is dedicated to forging robust career pathways that lead directly to living wage positions, addressing the critical need for skilled labor and meaningful employment opportunities in our community. Through strategic partnerships with partner agencies and educational institutions, we are developing on-the-job training and short-term educational programs tailored to the demands of the local economy.
