CLASS DESCRIPTION

The Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED) coordinates and directs workforce development initiatives responsive to the needs of Baltimore City employees and job seekers in order to enhance and promote the local economy. At MOED, we view our mission broadly to deliver economic justice to our city! To us, economic justice means creating an equitable workforce system for all residents – especially those who have been generationally and systemically disadvantaged – one that is responsive to their needs and ensures viable economic opportunities. Our vision is for every City resident to maximize his/her career potential and all employers have the human resources to grow and prosper – a workforce system that works.

MOED's Youth Services division provides the City's future workforce with the tools they need to succeed in careers in local high-growth industries. The Pre-Adjudication Coordination and Training (PACT) program provides targeted services for pre-adjudicated and pre-court youth 14-18 year of age who would otherwise be detained while awaiting trial. The PACT Evening Reporting Center has been in operation for over 15 years, is a best-practice model for closing the revolving door of juvenile recidivism and reducing the over representation of young black males in the Baltimore City juvenile justice system. The PACT program is housed in the Youth Opportunity Center.

The Internship Coordinator will be responsible for conducting intake assessments, help refer youth to appropriate community services, and facilities group sessions. Additionally, the Coordinator will develop internship opportunities for youth who complete the program successfully and meet the expectations of the court.
