Shrewsbury moves to pilot Webster University internship for public administration and finance students
Summary
City Administrator Dustin Ziebold proposed a Webster University internship requiring 6'10 hours per week to provide municipal experience, ease staff workload, and function as a recruitment pipeline; staff characterized it as low-cost and mutually beneficial.
City Administrator Dustin Ziebold presented a proposal to establish an internship partnership with Webster University to place public administration and finance students in the municipal government for roughly 6'10 hours per week.
Ziebold said the internship is intended to provide students with hands-on experience while helping the City close smaller workload gaps following technology-driven efficiencies and reduced staffing. Staff described the program as "low-cost, mutually beneficial," and suggested it could serve as a recruitment pipeline by exposing qualified candidates to municipal work. No final action or funding authorization was recorded at the work session; the Board received the proposal for further consideration.
