MOU__N_DitSVVttW <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />Item #: 6E <br />Meeting Date: November 15, 2019 <br />Type of Business: EDC <br />To: Economic Development Commission <br />From: Brian Beeman, Assistant City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Hear a Presentation on the Mounds View Schools Career Pathways <br />Program <br />Background: <br />Mounds View Schools is one of the partner school recipients of a Gen Z grant provided through the <br />Department of Labor's Youth Skills Training program. The Gen Z program is based on the successful <br />White Bear Lake Schools model and provides paid student manufacturing internships for high school <br />students. <br />Mounds View Schools is seeking four manufacturers interested in employing students next summer. <br />Four students will rotate through four manufacturers during a four -week timeframe. So, each <br />manufacturer will only have one student each week for four weeks. Please see attached for more <br />information. This is a wonderful opportunity for industry partners to showcase the manufacturing <br />industry and provide four students a glimpse of what a career might look like. <br />An informational breakfast will be held December 3, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., at Jimmy's Food & Drink in <br />Vadnais Heights. The agenda will include presentations from those manufacturers who participated <br />in the White Bear Lake program. Those interested in attending, should contact Mindy Handberg, <br />Director of Community Partnerships, Mounds View Public Schools, 651.621.6094, <br />mindv.handberq(a�moundsviewschools.orq. <br />Discussion: <br />Provide feedback and recommend local manufacturing companies who may be interested in <br />participating in this program. <br />Recommendation: <br />EDC to hear the presentation and offer any suggestions and/or contacts of local manufacturing <br />companies that may be interested in participating in the program and spread the word. <br />i <br />Brian Beeman <br />Assistant City Administrator <br />Attachments: <br />1.
