2008 MAYOR’S SEEDS OF CHANGE SUMMER JOBS PROGRAM

Once again, WorkSource is partnering with the City of Jacksonville and the Chamber of Commerce for the 2008 Mayor’s Seeds of Change Summer JOBS Program. The City of Jacksonville, FCCJ, and other employers are offering part-time jobs to high school and college students ages 16 – 21. Last year, WorkSource assisted with the placements of over 300 young workers.

This is a great chance to work for a few weeks during the summer, earn money and build a resume. If you are a young jobseeker find out more here.

We are currently looking for businesses that are interested in hiring youth. For more information, please go to the WorkSource Employer’s page and look for the Mayor’s Seeds of Change logo.

QUICK-LAUNCH:THE TWO-DAY BUSINESS PLAN

presented by: Griffin-Hammis Associates, LLC

OVERVIEW
The purpose of Quick Launch is to produce a working business plan draft, used for leveraging support and financing. By the end of Quick Launch, you will have produced that working document. However, it will not be precise in terms of pricing, profitability, depreciation, or in terms of the substantial impact of SSA Work Incentives or funding from VR or WIA programs. Griffin-Hammis Associates offers training and consultation on pricing, developing financial projections, and on SSA Work Incentives, such as PASS, and encourages those sessions as next steps to designing accurate business plans and establishing local business development capacity.

DATES and LOCATION

Quick Launch 1 – April 23 and 24 (Wednesday and Thursday)
Quick Launch 2 – May 13 and 14 (Tuesday and Wednesday)
Quick Launch 3 – June 23 and 24 (Monday and Tuesday)
