City Internship Program

The City Internship Program exposes college students to career opportunities in local government while allowing them to develop and strengthen professional skills in a work environment conducive to their education. City interns will gain valuable experience in a professional city government environment as they fulfill essential duties to maintain the City’s level of services to citizens.

These are volunteer internships where students work between 10 to 20 hours a week during the semester. Students are encouraged to earn credit for their internship. Students of all majors are welcomed to apply.

The L.P. Cookingham Management Fellowship Program experience gives fellows a "360-degree tour of the city." This includes four three-month rotations in the City Manager's Office, the Office of Management and Budget, Capital Improvements Management Office or Public Works and a department of their choice.

Applicants should be on target to complete the required coursework for a master's degree in public administration or similar discipline by the fall of the current academic year.
