Cowlitz County IT requests an additional summer intern; HR outlines pay and limits
Summary
Human Resources presented a request from the IT department to hire a returning student as a third summer intern; commissioners were given pay and employment details and had no objections.
Jessica Warren of human resources presented a brief request from the county's IT department to bring on a third summer internship position, a returning student who would join two current interns.
Warren said the internships are hourly, limited to a maximum of 90 days with no benefits; pay is $18.50 per hour for new students and $20.50 per hour for returning students. Interns typically work full time during the 90-day appointment and are students in IT programs seeking practical experience. Warren said the department is already interviewing candidates and expects to bring back a returning student alongside the other two interns.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about pay and benefits; Warren confirmed there are no benefits for the 90-day positions. No formal objection was recorded and the meeting moved to the next agenda item.
