The Sedgwick County
Management Intern Program offers a one-year opportunity to explore different
administrative career fields, gain invaluable insight into local government,
and procure future leadership positions. The goal of the
program is to draw and preserve highly motivated and creative individuals from
diverse social and cultural backgrounds to local government.
Interns study
administrative systems, policies and practices, and will be given definite
work assignments involving meaningful participation in a wide variety of
issues facing the Sedgwick County metropolitan area. Interns attend
County Commission meetings, County Manager's staff meetings, and local and
regional conferences. Interns work out of the County Manager's Office
and area assigned projects at the direction of the Director of
Community Relations.
Applicants should be
complete or nearly complete with their coursework toward a Master of Public
Administration. Sedgwick County will be hiring up to three interns. For consideration,
applicants must submit a resume and cover letter, graduate transcripts, a
writing sample from the past three months, three references with daytime
phone numbers, and a job application. The application will be
available on
the County's employment website at
www.hrepartners.com. The deadline to receive applications is
Friday, February 7, 2008. Click here to download the Management Intern flyer.
