Student Intern, Level III

The Student Intern classification is a County-wide classification. Duties are defined by the internship level and the various departments to which the students are assigned. Students can advance in both level and pay based on education and operational needs. The Student Internship Program nurtures the educational and professional development of promising job candidates, which may lead to a longer retention of the individual as a County employee. A successful internship program enhances the County's image among the student population, encouraging more students to apply in the future. Student Intern, Level III is for Junior or Senior year college students, or Degree-holder students working on their secondary degree or professional certification.
