SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City wishes to continue its partnership with Year Up Inc. to provide workforce development interns to various City departments. Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 with Year Up, Inc. for an additional $732,000 resulting in a total contract amount not to exceed $1,650,000 through July 30, 2025.
BACKGROUND
The City first partnered with Year Up in January 2023 to provide internship opportunities to young adults to perform project-based work. Year Up, Inc. is a local Bay Area non-profit organization specializing in youth workforce development. Year Up interns are trained in project management, data analysis, and IT/helpdesk and placed across City departments for a 6-month period.
Analysis
The City has had three successful cycles with Year Up where interns have provided valuable support to departments to aid with workloads, provide administrative and functional support to City staff, and assist with special projects. The interns have gained work experience, explored public sector career paths, and developed professional networks.
The City pays a flat rate per intern, part of which goes towards an educational stipend for each intern during their participation in the Year Up program.
