Frank Biden and Mavericks High of Osceola recently partnered with Nike, Inc. to help provide employment opportunities for its students. The project was initiated when Nike visited the campus and interviewed 30 students, eventually selecting six to take part in the pilot program. The eight-week program paired the students with mentors from Nike who introduced them to the different aspects of the retail business, in addition to different life skills. Four of the six students were offered full-time employment with Nike at the end of the program. Nike has already requested to make visits twice a year and have secured 25-30 positions at five of their different stores throughout Osceola and Orange County for Mavericks’ students.
