    Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

    In a move to strengthen ties between education and professional development, my office has partnered with Miami Dade College (MDC) in offering students internship opportunities at the  Office of the Clerk of the Court and Comptroller. Our two institutions have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at creating valuable internship opportunities for students, providing them with real-world experience that will enhance their education.

    This collaboration will offer students a unique chance to gain practical insights and hands-on experience by working on meaningful projects within the Clerk of the Court and Comptroller’s Office. The MOU outlines a framework for internship placements, which will allow students to apply their academic knowledge, develop essential skills, and gain professional exposure to industry practices. I am thrilled to partner with Miami Dade College, who was recently named by US News &

    World Report as the 4th top public schools – regional colleges and ranked 18th overall among schools in the South Region. These internship opportunities will provide students the opportunity to bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace. This initiative not only benefits the students but also enhances our organization by bringing in fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. My goal from day one is to retain local talent through internship opportunities and partnering with one of the largest and most diverse institutions in higher education in the United States is something that just made sense.

    Through the program, students will be matched with projects that align with their academic pursuits and career goals while contributing to the essential functions of my office. By participating, interns will gain valuable experience that will prepare them for future careers, fostering professional growth and supporting the development of a skilled workforce in the community.

    The Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller’s Office is committed to investing in the next generation of leaders, and this partnership reflects a shared goal with Miami Dade College to equip students with the tools they need for success.

    This collaboration marks an important step toward bridging the gap between education and employment, benefiting both the students and the organization through a shared exchange of knowledge and ideas. Both institutions look forward to a fruitful and successful partnership.
