Participant Application Process
Applicants must submit a completed application, be recommended by their organization and be selected as a participant by the program placement committee. Applicants will be invited to an interview with the placement committee to assess their background and experience and what they hope to accomplish after the program. Based on the committee’s assessment, we will do our best to coordinate with agencies in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties to match them to a meaningful assignment.
Assignments run for three months from September through December, giving participants an opportunity to supercharge their careers and acquire new experiences, relationships and competencies to benefit them and their organization.
The application packet consists of two parts:
- The application provides the basis for evaluation by describing the applicant’s background and career goals.
- The Supervisor, Department Head and City/County Manager (or Chief Executive) Recommendation ensures the applicant’s supervisor is aware and supportive of the applicant’s participation in the program. All signatures must be obtained prior to submission. The completed form must be uploaded when submitting
- **You will be required to sign in order to upload files, if you don’t have an account please email your resume and recommendation form to: info@discovermtep.org **
