Peachtree City showcases 2025 summer interns; city says cohort chosen from more than 600 applicants
Summary
City HR presented the summer intern cohort’s final projects and a video compiled by interns. Staff said eight interns were selected from over 600 applications; interns highlighted work across fire, HR, public works, CVB, library and communications.
Peachtree City’s human resources staff presented a summary of the 2025 summer internship program and displayed a cohort video created by the interns.
Dr. Tabb, identified as a HR director in the meeting introduction, opened the presentation by thanking city departments for hosting and mentoring interns and told council that the current cohort of eight interns "were selected from over 600 applications." Alexis Hollitt, cohort president and public communications intern, introduced a video showcasing each intern’s “three drivers of success” for the summer.
Interns described diverse assignments across departments: social‑media and peer‑support work with the fire department; scanning and position‑control work in human resources using Laserfiche; recreation and special events marketing and a new PTC Passports program; children’s programming and shelving at the library; cart‑path and pavement mapping and water sampling for public works and engineering; and tourism collateral redesign for the CVB. One intern credited the experience for confirming a civil and environmental engineering career path after working on golf‑cart ramp accessibility and testing water bodies for toxic algae.
The presentation emphasized the program’s role in workforce development and local civic engagement. Hollitt and other interns framed the internship as both a skills pipeline and a community service experience; the video concluded with interns answering a prompt describing the internship in one word with responses such as “inspiring,” “transformative,” and “immersive.”
The city noted the internship is intended as an investment in the future of public service; staff invited questions from the mayor and council following the video.
