Middle School Career Exploration Pilot Amendment Act of 2023

This bill creates a pilot program for middle school students aged 9 to 13 to participate in career exploration activities during the summer. The Department of Employment Services would organize these sessions to teach skills like teamwork, communication, and work readiness, while also offering meals and potential incentives to participants. The program is designed to fill a gap in current summer opportunities for this age group, which currently has limited options compared to those available for older youth. After the pilot concludes, the department must submit a report to the Council detailing how many students joined, their demographics, and feedback from the participants.
