On May 20, Border States welcomed 17 people to our 2019 summer internship program, a fun and engaging opportunity that has been proven to help interns develop professional skills with real-world experience in teamwork, time management and interpersonal communication.
Each intern will spend 80 to 90 percent of their time during the three-month summer experience working within a specific department. The Border States interns will also participate in multiple community service events and professional development trainings, as well as present on their experience at the end of the summer.
The Border States internship program is designed to engage future talent, as well as help interns build professional networking contacts and mentor relationships.
