From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

REE Job Readiness Training and Summer Employment Opportunities for Youth Ages 15-19

FIRST COME FIRST SERVED

Subject: FREE Job Readiness Training and Summer Employment Opportunities for Youth Ages 15-19

The Prince George’s County Office of Human Resources Management is gearing up for the 2018 Youth@Work/Summer Youth Enrichment Program (Youth@Work/SYEP).

This email is to inform you of the first step of the process for youth, ages 15-19, who are seeking summer employment. The Job Readiness Training Program (JRT), sponsored by Prince George’s Community College offers career development, life-skills training and job training.

Youth are eligible to participate in the SYEP twice, or up to the age of 19. Second year youth will have the opportunity to gain competencies through the newly implemented Career Pathways Program.

For additional details regarding the Career Pathways Program, please visit: www.pgcc.edu. Attached are flyers pertaining to the JRT Program (including the JRT Q & A Session on Saturday, January 6, 2018 at Prince George’s Community College) and the Youth@Work/SYEP’s At-A-Glance flyer you can share with youth/neighbors and/or post on your webpage or social media site.

Youth must:

1). REGISTER for the Job Readiness Training at www.pgcc.edu; and

2) APPLY for summer employment at YouthAtWork.mypgc.us (Once the application period opens on February 1, 2018)

The registration period for the JRT opened on December 1, 2017. Registration is open until all seats are filled or before the closing of the previous cohort.

The application for the Youth@Work/SYEP will be open on-line February 1, 2018. Please periodically check the Youth@Work/SYEP web page:

YouthAtWork.mypgc.us for updates.

Youth that successfully participate and complete the Job Readiness Training (JRT) are afforded an opportunity for preference for summer employment.

Mayor Malinda Miles

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
