Looking for Summer Help?
Hire an Intern!
Your agency is on a tight budget.  You have a lot to get done this summer, with limited resources.  Have you thought about hiring an engineering student for an intern?  

Interns can assist your agency with collecting and analyzing field data, updating sign inventory, conducting sign retroreflectivity analysis, and inspecting road conditions.

Interns bring a fresh new perspective to the work environment. They are quick to pick up computer programs and can prepare reports and collect data from the field.  Hiring an intern gives you the opportunity to see their skills and work ethic and know of a potential employee to hire down the road.   An internship can be a win-win for the intern as well as the employer.

The Engineering Career Development Office at the University of Kentucky was established to assist students develop job search skills, build career networks, and help secure rewarding careers in their chosen field of study.  

When you share your intern needs with the Engineering Career Development Office, they will target the desired majors and students to advertise the position.
