WORKFORCE CENTRAL FLORIDA’s Re-Employment Connection program
focuses on building participants skills by offering “real world”
paid work-experience internships. WCF is currently seeking
businesses that can serve as worksites and provide meaningful
work-experience opportunities.
During the work-experience internship, participants earn $12 per
hour and work up to 40 hours per week for eight weeks. WCF handles
the payroll for the interns, so there is no cost for businesses to
participate. This program is open to participants 18 years-of-age
and older that meet specific prerequisites.
Businesses wishing to participate must be located in Orange,
Osceola, Seminole, Lake or Sumter counties and cannot have laid off
employees within the last 90 days.
