Anne Arundel County Interns utilize their academic knowledge and skills to support and contribute to the primary assignments and projects of their internship. To ensure meaningful work and growth, specific objectives are established at the departmental level, and the progress of the internship is periodically assessed against these objectives.
Through Anne Arundel County's Internship Program, students are granted valuable exposure to the practical aspects of business and public administration. This program enables them to establish professional connections, gain firsthand experience, and potentially shape their career path.
Overview
- County Executive Pittman is pleased to offer Internship opportunities for college undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in enhancing their academic and career pursuits, earning college credit for this learning experience as well as learning about Anne Arundel County government.
- Students will apply and be selected to participate in an internship in one (1) or more department(s) related to their field of study.
- If the student is pursuing academic credit the department will provide the intern with a learning experience and the opportunity to earn the necessary hours in order to receive college credit for this experience related to their field of study. The hours will be earned over a period which coincides with the college semester. Students will intern as much time as their schedule allows and/or in order to earn the necessary hours to receive college credit. If the student earns the required number of hours for credit the internship may be concluded.
