UCF STUDENTS AVAILABLE AND PAID FOR THROGH A WORKFORCE CENTRAL FLORIDA/UCF WORKFORCE INITIATIVE


Workforce Central Florida and the University of Central Florida’s Office of Experiential Learning have partnered to offer the greater Orlando technology community an opportunity to invest in their future workforce through the STEM (Science, Technology, ngineering & Mathematics) initiative.

Investing in tomorrow’s workforce to meet projected demands in Orlando’s new and emerging industries of Digital media & Games, Homeland Security, Simulation & Cyber Security, Renewable and Sustainable Energy and Biotechnology is a community workforce priority. We are looking for qualified employers to host the students in their workplace by offering a structured, focused, meaningful experience in their major under the supervision of a senior technical staff member. Workforce Central Florida will pay each student a stipend for a 14-16 week long internship while the student simultaneously attends classes. Our targeted start date is the week after Labor Day weekend with a projected end date by the year end winter holidays.

If you have any questions or would like to register as a host employer, please contact me on my direct line at 407-823-1005.
