(Michigan City, IN) - Undergraduate and graduate students from the area seeking municipal work experience will have the opportunity to apply for paid summer internships through the City of Michigan City.

 

Interested students are invited to come to the Emergency Operations Center on the lower level of City Hall at 100 E. Michigan Blvd. between 12-4 p.m. on March 13th.

 

“Our goal is to introduce students to careers in local government,” Director of Education and Workforce Development Kila Ward explained.

 

The internship projects, developed by each department in the city, are meant to provide interns with meaningful part-time employment for a period of 8-10 weeks between May and August.

 

According to the mayor’s office, the starting pay for undergraduate students is $17 hourly and $19 hourly for graduate students.

 

People accepted into the internship program will complete a comprehensive orientation, along with job and leadership training, and meet one-on-one with department leaders and the mayor each week at the midway point.

 

Each intern must also prepare a project video or written summary documenting his or her project.
