How To Effectively Build A Successful Summer Paid Internship Program in Local Government

I have served for five years as an employment relations administrator for the City of Annapolis, I have seen firsthand the trans formative effects of well-structured summer paid intern programs. My experience coordinating these programs, my background in law, and my recent recognition as a 2024 Lawyer of Distinction have equipped me with unique insights into the practical and legal considerations involved in these initiatives. My dual expertise has been instrumental in designing programs that comply with employment laws, but more importantly effectively engage young people with needed social skills to be prepared for future employment. Students are trained how to write a resume with no experience. They are also taught during the Summer Intern Program Modules, how social media content impacts job interviews and getting jobs.
