Internship Program

The City of Chula Vista offers internship programs to individuals who are engaged in undergraduate- and graduate-level studies compatible with career tracks in Public Administration, Communications, and Urban Planning. The purposes of this program include providing students with meaningful exposure to Public Administration careers, as well as providing the City with a future professional applicant pool of highly qualified individuals.

Internships will be limited in number and will last for a temporary period of time.  Students generally work 10-20 hours per week, depending on individual situations.  The department will make every effort to work with students to arrive at a mutually beneficial schedule.

Interns will be assigned projects that will help foster an understanding of Public Administration.  Clerical and other routine duties are necessary parts of many job functions, but will not represent a significant portion of an internship assignment.

If you are interested in being considered for our internship program, please complete a Volunteer Application and email your resume to akemery@ci.chula-vista.ca.us.  You may also call us at (619) 691-5000 with any questions.
