May 8, 2006 Status: At the April 24 Council meeting, the Manager recommended $16,000 for the Internship program as a priority option for the 2006-2007 budget.
September 11, 2006 Status: The Town’s Internship Program will be available for college students this fall. Deputy Town Manager Florentine Miller is the coordinator for this program, along with Recruitment Coordinator Wendy Walsh and Assistant Human Resources Director Anissa Graham-Davis. The work to roll out this program is progressing very well. We expect that there will be about 10 internships available for various departments within the Town. The internships will pay a maximum of $1,000 per semester per intern.
November 6, 2006 Status: The interns for fall 2006 have been selected and are working in their assigned departments and with select Council members on projects. Work is going well, and the placements are providing opportunities for interns to learn more about Town operations and activities during their time here.
February 12, 2007 Status: Some interns have returned this semester from last semester. Currently, there are three positions vacant for the spring semester. Applications have been received and reviewed for the two Council interns. Applications for the transportation intern have been delivered to transportation for review and selection.
