NCSPHS AMENDMENT

The City of Jacksonville is considering an amendment to a contract with the Jacksonville General Apprenticeship Association, Inc. (JGAA). This amendment would extend the contract term to September 30, 2028, and require JGAA to report on the status of enrollees one year after payment by the City. If an enrollee is no longer in the program, JGAA would repay the City $2,500 for that enrollee. The City plans to appropriate $675,000 from a contingency account to fund apprenticeship and certification programs for Duval County residents. The City will pay JGAA $2,500 for each qualified enrollee upon enrollment, with the total number of enrollees determined annually. This item is currently pending review by the Rules Committee. The project involves funding and oversight of apprenticeship programs, which could lead to needs for administrative support, program management, and financial services. Early engagement with the City and JGAA could provide insight into future needs and opportunities as the contract terms are finalized.
