Overview

Summary

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking qualified providers to administer Youth & Young Adult Internship Programs. Selected vendor will serve as program administrator to provide comprehensive services including recruiting, screening, HR operations, and participant placement.

Background

The City aims to provide employment opportunities in public and private sector businesses for youth aged 15-24 from families at or below 120% of Area Median Income. Beyond temporary employment and income, the Programs focus on developing leadership skills and career readiness, exposing participants to careers, trades, and certifications they may pursue.

With an anticipated annual budget of $400,000, the City seeks to contract with one or more vendors who will maximize participant numbers through leveraged funds and effective recruitment strategies. Priority is given to positions in target industries including Life Sciences, Financial Services, Specialized Manufacturing, Data Analytics, Creative Arts and Design, and Construction. Private sector employers may provide 60-75% reimbursement of participant salaries. The goal is for most internships to lead to year-round permanent employment, creating positive long-term impact for participating youth.
