Top internship candidate declines; county plans to rebuild summer internship program
Summary
Administrator-in-training Christopher Heffernan said one strong summer internship candidate declined an offered position to pursue an opportunity outside Plymouth County; staff will work with Bridgewater State University to relaunch the program for future semesters including fall, spring, and winter break opportunities.
Administrator-in-training Christopher Heffernan informed the board that the county made an offer to one exceptional internship applicant who declined in favor of another internship outside Plymouth County. Heffernan said the county will focus on rebuilding the internship program for future semesters and will engage Bridgewater State University contacts to relaunch the program for fall or spring, and possibly winter-break, semesters.
The report was informational; commissioners offered no immediate changes to the program’s structure at the meeting but directed staff to continue outreach to university partners to identify more candidates for upcoming terms.
