STUDENT – PARAPROFESSIONAL (Multiple Positions) – Job ID 33868
Company Overview
Palm Beach County is the largest of Florida’s 67 counties. There are 38 municipalities within the County, encompassing a total of 328 square miles, or approximately 16% of the County’s area. The State Legislature established Palm Beach County as Florida's 47th County on July 1, 1909. Prior to that time, the area was part of Dade County.
On Nov. 6, 1984, Palm Beach County voters approved a home rule charter form of government. The charter, in essence, is the document that spells out how the county government will operate. Among other things, it establishes “home rule,” a County Manager form of government, provides a process to amend or modify the charter itself, and gives voters the power to remove county commissioners from office, known as recall.
The charter enables Palm Beach County voters, through their elected officials, to have greater independence in determining how their local government will function and what services it provides. Since taking effect in January 1985, the charter has had several voter-approved additions (amendments), but not a thorough, grass-roots level review.
The Board of County Commissioners (BCC), which is the legislative branch of County government, adopts ordinances and resolutions to establish programs that protect and maintain the health, safety, and welfare of County residents. In 1990, the BCC changed from five at-large Commissioners to seven, each representing a single-member district. Each Commissioner is elected to a four-year term by voters in the district in which they reside. Commissioners elect a Mayor to preside over meetings and serve as the ceremonial head of the County. A Vice Mayor is also selected to assume these duties in the absence of the Mayor.
Supports the Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) Quality Assurance activities with a primary focus on ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) accessibility standards across County digital assets.

Maintains detailed remediation logs, cross-departmental compliance documentation, and audit-ready records to support internal oversight and regulatory requirements.
