Summary
City staff introduced 20 Miami Valley CTC and Dayton Public Schools students participating in a first‑year city co‑op program in water, public works and fire. Commissioners praised the program as a workforce pipeline and urged continued support from city departments.
Keisha Kinney and city staff introduced 20 high‑school students from Miami Valley CTC and Dayton Public Schools who are working across public works, water and fire as part of the city's first co‑op year. "We're hoping we're getting our next City of Dayton employees," Kinney said as students and staff were acknowledged for on‑the‑job experience.
Commissioners responded with praise and encouragement. Commissioner Beckham said the program will "create a strong pipeline" and thanked city staff for implementing the initiative. Commissioner Joseph said the experience gives young people an early look at career pathways and thanked staff for organizing the placements.

The commission asked for a brief photo with the students and noted the program's role in talent recruitment and long‑term workforce planning. No formal action was required; the presentation concluded with applause and the commission moved on to the calendar.
