2/hour is low compared to private sector internships but the government experience is valuable on a resume. Worth it for the right major.
We had interns last summer and two of them got hired full time after graduation. The program actually leads to careers.
Encouraging my public administration students to apply. Hands-on county government experience is hard to find in the classroom.
My son did the program two years ago in Planning & Zoning. He learned more in 8 weeks than a full semester. Apply early — spots fill up fast.
