Summer Employer Host Sites Needed!

Through a collaborative project with the City of Columbus Mayor’s Office of Education and TECH CORPS Ohio students from around Franklin County are learning technology skills to enrich their learning and prepare them for future employment in the field of technology.

City Student TECH CORPS is an innovative program funded by Franklin County Jobs and Family Services. This program provides students (ages: 14-18) with 32-weeks of computer skills readiness and employment soft skills training.

Students who successfully complete the program are assigned a 10-week paid summer job where they can apply the technology and soft skills they have learned in a real-world setting.

We need your help! Please get involved with the City Student TECH CORPS program by providing our students with a 10-week (June 16– August 22, 2008) technology-related work experience. Students will visit your site 30 hours each week and we ask that you provide them with the opportunity to apply the technology and soft skills they have learned in the program. City Student TECH CORPS will supplement the students’ salary at $7/hour. Therefore, there is NO COST to you!

The skills the students learn as a result of their participation in the City Student TECH CORPS program will have lifelong benefits. We ask that you partner with us to support your next generation of employees! Whether or not you are able to place one student or 10 - we need your support! Please email lisa@techcorpsohio.org or call us at 614-583-9211.
