Background:
This Seminole County Agreement is with Central Florida Regional Workforce Development Board, Inc., d/b/a “CareerSource Central Florida”.
CareerSource Central Florida is a local workforce board charged with curating local talent for high-demand industries, meeting local business needs, and cultivating growth and prosperity for the Central Florida community. Through job placement, training and certification programs, and higher education, CareerSource Central Florida partners with Central Florida businesses, colleges, and universities to meet industry needs and connect career seekers to local opportunities.
CareerSource Central Florida’s proposal includes offering Seminole County young adults and adults two separate tracks that aim to introduce them to potential careers in the public sector and other industries.
For young adults, the 4-week Young Adult Public Sector Academy will introduce up to 30 Seminole County young adults to various roles within the public sector, emphasizing the importance of transparency, ethics, and leadership in the summer of 2027.
For Seminole County adults, CareerSource Central Florida will deliver a four-week Career Exploration Academy for Adults to three (3) cohorts of at least fifteen (15) adults each. The objective is to provide adults with a comprehensive understanding of in-demand occupations, both with and without certification requirements, and to promote pathways into high-growth industry roles.
