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 has hosted Project Victory the last two school years and wishes to continue 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 continue to provide an on-site-teacher and paraprofessional job coach that provides 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. The City and MDCPS desire to enter into the Cooperative Agreement attached as Exhibit 1 so that the City can continue to host Project Victory.
