Internship Recruitment Program
The City of Rialto would like to offer college students or recent graduates the opportunity to gain professional local government experience by participating in the Internship Recruitment Program. The program is intended to be a staffing pipeline for the future management, leadership and professional positions in the City.
Program Overview
This Internship Program is designed to give students the experience of local government by working side by side with city employees, department managers, elected officials, and community leaders. We plan to focus on the participant's intended career discipline while providing career exposure to all other divisions.
Interns may be exposed to City Administration, Finance, Human Resources, Public Safety (Police and Fire), Public Works and Engineering, Community Development, Public Access Television and Parks and Recreation. Interns will be mentored and shadowed by City staff and should receive a formal performance evaluation at the completion of the program.
Interns will work within the operating hours of the City (Monday thru Thursday, 7:00AM-6:00PM). Actual working hours are flexible but may not exceed 1,000 hours per fiscal year (July - June).
