Metro 17 Valdosta Produces ‘Next Gen Valdosta’ Video Series

The City of Valdosta is working to engage the community with a new video series Next-Gen Valdosta'. The videos will be produced by the city's Metro 17 staff. The video series is aimed at educating citizens about the next generation workforce for the City of Valdosta. 

"We wanted a platform to educate citizens about our younger workforce who is the future of the city. We have 600 employees and during seasonal times 650 employee. There are so many positions and careers with the city that citizens may not know about. We wanted another way to inform them of these opportunities," says Media Coordinator, Marcus McConico.

The series will spotlight employees in their 20’s or 30’s throughout different departments in the city. 'Next-Gen Valdosta’ will be showcased on the city's website and on social media. The goal is to reach citizens and bring awareness to the different positions and career paths shown in the videos. The videos will be released every month. Metro 17 partners with Valdosta State University student interns to produce the ‘Next-Gen Valdosta' videos.

To see the first episode featuring the city's associate clerk Taylor Marzell, you can visit the Metro 17 section at the bottom of the City of Valdosta website.
