About this opportunity
The Tompkins County Workforce Development department is soliciting proposals for a 2024 Summer Youth Employment Program. The program aims to provide employment opportunities and workforce development training to youth aged 14-20 from families receiving TANF benefits or at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. Proposals are encouraged from for-profit, not-for-profit, educational, and local government entities. The program objectives include providing paid work experience, developing workplace skills, and encouraging high school completion. The contract term is 5 months, from May 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024. Proposals are due by 2 PM ET on February 20, 2024, with the last day for questions being February 13, 2024 at 5 PM ET. Tompkins County anticipates awarding approximately $350,000 in total funds, which may be split among multiple providers.
This procurement does not include a service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside, and there is no information provided about any identical or substantially similar contracts awarded within the past five years. The program is contingent on New York State appropriating funds, and Tompkins County may modify or refuse to make awards based on the availability of funding.
