San Diego announced an expansion of a city internship program aimed at preparing students for careers in public service, and Mayor Todd Gloria signed a resolution to extend the program, a broadcast reported.
The broadcast said the expansion is funded through a state fund routed via the Youth Service Corps and is open to students aged 16 and older. "Students 16 and older receive hands-on experience in various departments," the presenter said, describing placements in council offices, the fire department, parks, libraries and other city workplaces.
The broadcast said the program — identified on air with the name spelled in the transcript as "Employe and Empower" — began in 2022 and has helped more than 1,400 young people obtain public-service jobs since then; the transcript contains some garbled words around that figure, so the number is presented as reported by the broadcast.
The presenter reported that Mayor Todd Gloria signed a resolution to extend the program; the broadcast did not provide details of a city council vote or a timetable for when the expanded placements would begin. It also did not name a specific city contact for applications or list an application deadline.
City officials or mayoral staff did not speak on the tape; reporting here is based on the broadcast's account of the signing and program details. The broadcast encouraged eligible young people to take advantage of the program but did not provide next-step instructions or an application link.
