Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and City Commissioner Daisy Lynum (District 5), the architects of the BLUEPRINT Initiative, are hosting a luncheon on Friday for the homeless individuals who have received work through the BLUEPRINT Employment Office. Sponsored by the Olive Garden restaurant, the luncheon is only for those homeless persons who worked on the Amway Center.
About 112 homeless individuals received jobs through the City’s BLUEPRINT Employment Office.
As part of the construction of the Amway Center, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and the Citrus Bowl projects, the City and its partners have committed to providing jobs and training opportunities for Central Florida residents. The BLUEPRINT Employment Office provides a central location for residents looking to work on these projects. The BLUEPRINT identified target populations including homeless, ex-offenders and Parramore residents to focus employment efforts. In total, nearly 1,800 Central Floridians have received help finding employment through the BLUEPRINT Employment Office.
