TFLA for Business

Be a Brighter Business! Hire a TFLA Student!

The Tallahassee Future Leaders Academy (TFLA) summer youth employment program is an exciting and innovative summer program that provides community youth, ages 15 to 19, with the opportunity to gain work experience and professional development training.

COVID-19 Impact
Due to scheduling uncertainty caused by COVID-19, a contingency plan for Summer 2020 is under development to include e-learning opportunities related to TFLA’s 5 Pillars. More information will be available in late May.

TFLA 2020 Update:
Dr. Kimball Thomas, Director of Community Services, would like to introduce Dr. Tara Huls as the Coordinator of Youth Development who will guide TFLA and manage other youth development programs for the City of Tallahassee. She has experience working with high school youth and helping them work toward post-secondary and career opportunities. Please contact her at tfla@talgov.com with any questions.

The Tallahassee Future Leaders Academy (TFLA) summer youth employment program is an exciting and innovative summer program that provides community youth, ages 15 to 19, with the opportunity to gain work experience and professional development training.
From June 1 -July 17, 2020, participants will have the opportunity to work a minimum of 20 hours a week in a paid position, with mentorship and guidance from a caring manager and professional.
We need your help! The TFLA program is looking to recruit local businesses and employers who are willing to create jobs for youth this year. Interested employers are asked to:

  • Provide job placements for TFLA participant(s) for 6 weeks, at least 20 hours a week.
  • Compensate TFLA participants a minimum wage salary ($8.56 per hour) during that period.
  • Provide supportive work environment that assists operations and helps youth build skills.

In turn, the TFLA program will provide:

  • Screening and background checks on all TFLA participants recommended to local employers.
  • Pre-job training and professional development seminars for all TFLA participants.
  • Opportunities for TFLA youth to receive industry recognized certifications.
  • Financial literacy training and access to a savings account for all participants.
  • Continuing communication with the employer during the program to assess the performance of TFLA participants.

Beyond providing a job for a TFLA participant, there are several other ways local businesses can partner with the TFLA Program:

  • Sponsor a TFLA participant who can be employed at another location during the 6-week employment period.
  • Sponsor a meal for participants during the 2-week training period.
  • Provide workshop supplies and food.
