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.

City Student TECH CORPS Ambassadors Help Commissioners Kick Off National County Government Week
April 8th, Franklin County kicked-off National County Government Week (NCGW) during which Commissioners were joined by ten students from area high schools at their weekly General Session meeting.
NCGW, sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo), was first celebrated in 1991 to raise public awareness and understanding about the roles and responsibilities of the nation’s counties. The theme for this year’s celebration of NCGW is “Protecting Our Children.”
“Our essential goal in Franklin County is providing help to children and families in need,” Board President Marilyn Brown stated. “National County Government Week creates awareness of the vital services offered through the county.”
“It is fitting that this year’s theme is ‘Protecting our Children’,” said Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy. “From ensuring that families have access to affordable health care to building partnerships that support education, especially science, technology, engineering and mathematical education, to recruiting and retaining good jobs for our youth as they become adults, county government plays a huge role in the lives of children.”
Commissioners honored the students with certificates for participating in National County Government Week. Several students who were involved in the county funded City Student TECH CORPS program spoke to the Commissioners about the positive impact the program had on their lives. The students also attended a reception and tour of the county courthouse.

This innovative program developed by TECH CORPS Ohio and the City of Columbus, Mayor’s Office of Education is funded by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners and administered by the FCDJFS.
Today, I want to focus on our 2007-2008 City Student TECH CORPS Program. This program provides 100 students with 32 weeks of computer and employment soft skills training. Tech-savvy instructors work in an informal education environment using the Student TECH CORPS® curriculum (http://www.studenttechcorps.org/) to prepare students for Level I Technical Support Certification and to build their knowledge of Information Technology educational and career pathways. Students who successfully complete the program are assigned a 10-week paid summer internship where they can apply their newly acquired skills in a real-world setting; making the training authentic.
Each year, I am so impressed by Columbus' young people and especially the ones who are willing to stand in line for hours to get into this program. I am very excited about this year's class of students - they seem committed, inquisitive and fun-loving. And although I say this every year, they seem like they are going to be our best CSTC class ever!
A few facts about this year's class:
- 100 students representing 7 Franklin County School Districts, 1 Private School and 4 Charter Schools;
- 79% of our students are Columbus City School district students;
- A majority of our students are in the 9th Grade;
- 9: 8th graders -- 41: 9th graders -- 36: 10th graders and 2: 12th graders
- 59% of our students are female.
A few new compenents of our City Student TECH CORPS program include:
- Professional image consulting and presentation skills;
- Financial management workshop;
- College and financial aid information;
- Career Fair with area employers;
Also new this year, during the last week of each month, students are required to come to class in professional work attire. Here are just a few pictures of some of our "Dressed to Impress" students...
