County introduces summer internship cohort; HR says 56 selected from 150 applicants
Summary
Montgomery County introduced roughly 56 summer interns across multiple departments; HR director said the program drew about 150 applicants and interns will work in departments including HR, juvenile court, finance, IT and the district attorney's office.
County human resources staff introduced the summer intern cohort and asked the interns to state their names, schools and assigned departments. HR director Dana said the program received about 150 applicants and selected roughly 56 interns for placements across county departments.
Interns who introduced themselves represented a range of high schools and colleges and were assigned to departments including human resources, juvenile court, finance, parks and recreation, probate, appraisal, information technology and the district attorney's office. Examples included Savannah Felder (HR), Tyler Collins (information systems), Gabriel Spencer (finance), Brooklyn Ruffin (parks and recreation) and Kira Underwood (pre‑trial diversion, DA's office).
"We had exactly 150 applicants and we have about 56 students," Dana told commissioners, thanking commissioners for welcoming the interns during an earlier orientation. Commissioners applauded the cohort and recessed briefly so interns could return to their departments and begin assignments.
Staff said they hope to expand slots next year and thanked department heads who participated in the selection process.
