The Human Resources Department is launching the 2024 – 2025 Pathways College Internship Program. Pathways provides qualified students with practical work experience that complements their academic coursework and course credit (if approved by the college or university). Pathways also exposes students to a variety of careers in municipal government. Our city departments are committed to providing an enriching experience that will augment the students’ studies and career aspirations and support the department’s operations.

Most internships are unpaid and range from 8 to 40 hours per week, as determined by the departments, intern and college/university (if applicable). Students can gain valuable work experience, on-the-job training, and have an opportunity to develop a professional networking base for future positions in municipal careers.

APPLICATIONS FOR 2024-2025 WILL BE ACCEPTED FROM AUGUST 12, 2024.
