Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City of Toledo finds it necessary to offer young Toledoans educational and professional training opportunities through comprehensive internships within a variety of City departments. Not only will this keep youth engaged and off the streets during the summer, it will also create an opportunity for young Toledoans to earn a meaningful income. Furthermore, this program will create a pathway for young Toledoans to become skilled tradesmen and professionals. This creates a more robust workforce from which the City and Toledo as a whole can draw both now and in the future.
