DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:

Marion County Human Resources works very closely with the College of Central Florida (CF) to build a strong pipeline to recruit full-time employees, part-time employees and interns seeking to gain real world knowledge about the career path they have chosen. Marion County has seen several of the CF interns apply, interview and become onboarded as full-time employees as a result of their internship with Marion County.

The grant will provide 120 hours at $15 per hour for each intern. As a result of Marion County’s relationship and success with CF, a signed Memorandum of Understanding is being presented for Marion County to manage and utilize the funds on behalf of CF.
