Title

A Resolution of the City Commission authorizing the City Manager to enter into a cooperative agreement with the School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida, for Project Victory, a program that assists young adults with disabilities by providing work skills and employment training within the City of Coral Gables.

 

Body

 

Project Victory is a program developed by Miami-Dade County Public Schools (“MDCPS”) to prepare students with disabilities for financial, personal/social and/or independent functioning through the acquisition of employability skills essential for success in the workplace.  Project Victory is designed for up to 12 students per semester that are enrolled in a Miami-Dade County public school and are referred to Project Victory by their teachers, program specialists and other school support staff.

 

The City wishes to host Project Victory at City Hall, the 427 Building and the Public Safety Building to allow students to benefit from on-the-job training and real-life experiences.   MDCPS will provide an on-site-teacher and paraprofessional job coach that provide instruction, support and direct supervision to students according to a training plan developed for each student in conjunction with a City representative.  While working at the City, the City will offer the students employability skills based on the student’s capabilities and experience.
