King County JumpStart is a clean energy workforce development program addressing the demand for a diverse and skilled workforce in the clean technology and energy sector. This innovative sectoral partnership involves government agencies, pre-apprenticeships and job readiness training providers, and employers.  JumpStart connects young adults ages 18-24 to pre-apprenticeship and job training, industry-recognized credentials, paid work-based learning, and pathways to living-wage employment or full-time apprenticeships. 

JumpStart participants are recruited, enroll in job readiness training programs, attend clean energy workshops, and work 240-hours of paid work-based learning with partner employers in local solar, HVAC, electrical, and related clean energy or construction trades. Upon successful program completion, participants are supported to be hired through full-time employment offers at their host site, apply for apprenticeships, and participate in organized hiring events or application clinics for open King County positions.  

The JumpStart Case Management Intern will directly support the JumpStart Lead Case Manager to facilitate participant workshops, work with employer host sites and supervisors, verify participant hours tracking and timecards, recruit new participants, document case notes and participant performance, identify resources for participants, deliver support services, and organize and file required paperwork. The JumpStart Case Management Intern will support with the following tasks supporting individual or small groups of participants:

Data entry and document management

Job search assistance, apprenticeship application assistance, and resume building

Identifying community resources

Support services delivery including tool and PPE (personal protective equipment) ordering and distribution

Develop and present recommendations for policy advocacy or program improvements to support JumpStart’s sustainability and growth

Some case management training and customer service experience is helpful. Experience working with diverse young adults is helpful for this role as well.

Professional or personal interest in youth employment, career support services, environmental justice, climate change, and/or the skilled trades is a bonus, but no experience required.
