Subject: Mayor's Internship Program: A great opportunity for Peirce students
Good afternoon,
Career Development Services is pleased to share the following information with you so that you may inform your students about this upcoming opportunity.
The Mayor’s Internship Program (MIP) with the City of Philadelphia is an opportunity for current college undergraduates and graduate students to learn about and contribute to the city government that manages operations for the nation’s 6th largest municipality. It is a ten-week unpaid internship beginning June 6, 2011 and ending August 12, 2011. Interns are required to commit to a minimum of 25 hours per week and to be available to work the duration of the internship period. Mayor’s interns come from across the country and represent a wide-range of colleges, graduate programs, and majors. They have helped complete grant applications, compile and analyze financial data, develop training and policy manuals, and assist in planning and implementing key City events across various departments and agencies.
The MIP consists of three main components:
• Work component: Placement in a single department completing substantive work assignments
• ”Exploring Government”: Every Friday programming that includes speaker events, visits to municipal operations and programs, and leadership development training
• Group project: An interdepartmental issue that a group of interns are assigned to analyze and develop strategies to address
Potential applicants must meet the following requirements:
• Be current undergraduate or graduate-level students (recently graduated seniors may be considered)
• Have completed their sophomore year in college prior to the start of the program
Application materials can be found at www.phila.gov/experiencephila and must be submitted no later than 5pm on Tuesday, February 22, 2011.
More details about this opportunity are in the attached PDF. The internship has also been posted on Peircelink (www.peircelink.com), Peirce College’s online job board.
