The Mercer County Internship Program is designed to provide students in high school and college with paid opportunities to work and gain practical training and hands-on, real world experience that will help meet their educational goals and prepare them for a professional career. During the course of the summer program, students have the opportunity to take part in a variety of curated activities coordinated by the Office of Personnel designed to teach new techniques and skills, enhance existing knowledge and abilities, while also exploring possible career paths in the public administration. Internships opportunities are offered during summer breaks (June to through Labor Day) with a limited number of spots during winter and spring breaks. Mercer County also offers unpaid internships to assist students looking to earn credits for their college or university.
