Wareham intern urges residents to pursue city jobs and internships
Summary
Kamar Nicole, an intern in the City Manager’s Office and a rising sophomore at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, told meeting attendees her summer internship opened her eyes to city operations and encouraged residents to consider employment or internships across city departments.
Kamar Nicole, an intern in the City Manager’s Office for the City of Wareham and a rising sophomore in political science at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, said her summer placement "has really opened my eyes to all the city's operations and how those essential services affect me and my family." During public comment, she urged residents to consider city employment or internships that span engineering, public administration and other departments.
Nicole said the city’s workforce matters to how services are delivered. "Without its people, it is essentially nothing," she told meeting attendees, and noted the city employs "over 600 employees." She described internships as a way to learn how municipal government functions and to gain experience across multiple fields.
Nicole identified herself as a local who was "born and raised in this area" and highlighted her student status at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University while recommending city positions and internships to others. The remarks occurred during the public comment portion of the meeting; no formal action or vote followed Nicole’s comments.
The comment underscores outreach and recruitment as a point of contact between the city and students interested in public service, but the record does not specify whether the city announced any new internship openings, application dates, or a point of contact during this session.
