DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Marion County Human Resources and the College of Central Florida (CF) have established a strong partnership to recruit and develop future talent. This collaboration has led to successful placements of CF interns into full-time and part-time positions within Marion County.
CF has recently been awarded the "National Science Foundation - Cybersecurity Grant," which will fund an information technology student internship for five semesters, starting in Spring 2025. The grant will provide $1,800 to cover 120 hours of work per semester at a rate of $15 per hour.
In order to facilitate this internship program, Marion County and CF have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in which there is a request for ratification on this agenda under Notation for Action. This MOU authorizes Marion County to manage the grant funds and oversee the internship program on behalf of CF.
To initiate the program, Human Resources is requesting to recognize the revenue and the corresponding personnel accounts needed to fund one intern for the Spring 2025 semester. These funds will be reimbursed by CF through the grant.
