The Board of County Commissioners is considering a Youth Internship Partnership with CareerSource Research Coast. This program aims to provide paid internships for disadvantaged youth aged 16 to 24 within County departments. The goal is to offer job shadowing, hands-on work experience, and an introduction to public-sector careers. CareerSource will provide academic support, career exploration, and life-skills training, covering all liability and workers' compensation. This item is currently under review and has been approved by the Board. The project involves administrative and program support functions. Local businesses involved in workforce development, training, and administrative support services may find opportunities related to this initiative. Early engagement could provide insights into potential future needs or related projects.
