Salary: $15 to $20 per hour

The MORPC Local Government Summer Internship Program provides the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to obtain practical work experience with a local government within MORPCs 15-county region to prepare them for possible careers in public service. MORPC coordinates the recruitment and placement of students to match each hosts request; hosts make the final hiring decision and provide an hourly wage. Interns work for a host for a minimum of 16 hours to a maximum of 40 hours per week for a 10- to 14-week period, which means there are both part-time and full-time positions available. The summer 2026 internship program will begin on May 12th and will end on August 14th.

Interns gain applicable knowledge to enhance classroom learning by working with current government professionals throughout Central Ohio and acquire insights into the services provided by a regional planning commission. Interns also can attend monthly commission meetings as well as special MORPC-sponsored events and are paired with a MORPC staff member to serve as their mentor during the summer internship program.

Previous HR interns have gained experience using Bamboo HR, Neogov, Sharepoint, B Swift, Canva, Microsoft 365, and other software programs on the job. Specific past assignments include:

  • Writing, posting, and removing job descriptions on hiring boards
  • Organizing job applications, screening resumes, and scheduling interviews with top candidates for various open positions
  • Attending new hire orientations/onboardings, benefit meetings, and exit interviews
  • Reviewing job descriptions for accurate salary information and redundant word choice
  • Auditing education, contact, and salary information for employees
  • Gathering, entering, and updating employee data to maintain department records
